Early life and education

Yeoh was born on 6 August 1962 in Ipoh, Perak,[9] to Janet Yeoh and Yeoh Kian-teik. Her father was elected as a Senator of Malaysia from 1959 to 1969 (representing Perak's Malaysian Chinese Association),[10] [11] [12] the Chairman of the Perak Bar Association,[10] and the founder of "Sri Maju" in 1975, a major intercity coach service in Malaysia and Singapore.[10] [13] Though of Hokkien and Cantonese ancestry,[14] she grew up speaking English to her father and could understand some Malaysian Cantonese from her maternal grandmother who lived with them.[15] She learned to speak Cantonese fluently in the 1980s and some Mandarin in the 2000s. Despite that, she never learned to read or write Chinese, which she has said was her greatest regret.[16]

Yeoh was keen on dance from an early age, beginning ballet at age four. She studied at Main Convent Ipoh, an all-girls secondary school, as a primary student. At age 15, she moved with her parents to the United Kingdom. There, she was enrolled in The Hammond School, Chester, where she started to train as a ballet dancer.[17] [18] However, a spinal injury prevented her from becoming a professional ballet dancer, and she shifted her attention to choreography and other arts. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Manchester Metropolitan University in 1983.[19]

This caught the attention of a fledgling Hong Kong film production company, D&B Films. Although she had a passive understanding of the Ipoh Cantonese spoken in her hometown, she could not speak it. During a phone call in Cantonese, she was offered to co-star in a television commercial with a Sing Long, and only realized that was Jackie Chan's Cantonese name when she arrived in the studio.[22] She learned to speak Cantonese as she began her career in Hong Kong.[23]

Yeoh began her acting career in action and martial arts films, in which she performed her own stunts.[24] Yeoh's first lead role came in her third film, Yes, Madam (1985).[25] Yeoh initially used the pseudonym Michelle Khan, a stage name selected by D&B Films for its potential appeal to international and Western audiences. In 1987, Yeoh married her first husband Dickson Poon, a co-founder of D&B Films, and decided to retire from acting.

Return as an action star (1992–2001)

She did not speak Mandarin until the 2000s, and she had to learn the Mandarin lines for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon phonetically.[31] The film was an international success, and earned Yeoh a BAFTA 2000 nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role.[32] [33]
