Tăng Thanh Hà (born Tăng Thị Thanh Hà; October 24, 1986 in Gò Công, Tiền Giang, Vietnam) is a Vietnamese actress and model.[3] She is Toshiba's brand ambassador to Vietnam.[4]
She was born on October 24, 1986, in Gò Công, Tiền Giang in a family of Chinese descent.[5] When her family business did not go well, she helped her mother out making ends meet:[6] At the age of 11, Tang woke early to assist with preparing food for later distribution to customers.[6] At this time her mother enrolled her in night acting classes at Idecaf.[6]
When she was 16,[6] director Lưu Trọng Ninh asked her to portray Trang in the movie Dốc tình.[6] Although only a minor role, Thanh Ha caught the attention of the film world. She went on to play Mộng Cầm in Hàn Mặc Tử[6] - a film about the celebrated Vietnamese poet -, and won critical acclaim.[6] She was also cast in Hương phù sa in the role of Út Nhỏ[7] and in several ads.[6] She won the Best lead actress award from the Ho Chi Minh City Television in 2006.[8] At this point, however, she left acting to study hotel administration in Singapore[6] just as she became recognized as an up-and-coming actress on television and on the big screen.[9] Upon returning to Vietnam the next year, she was given the leading role in the multi-episode television drama Bỗng dưng muốn khóc.[10] [11] In 2008, she landed a role in Đẹp từng centimét.[12] At the end of 2009 she was selected by director Nguyễn Phan Quang Bình to be in Cánh đồng bất tận (The Floating Lives) based on a novel of the same name by female writer Nguyễn Ngọc Tư.[13]
