 Chingmy Yau mini-bio: Yau entered the Hong Kong film industry through a beauty pageant. She
competed in the 1989 Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant but only took the title
of Miss Photogenic. Rumors had it that she went under the knife thus
leading to her departing from the pagent. However, joining the pagent was
enough to win her several film roles. Her career did not take off until
she became romantically involved with Hong Kong film director Wong Jing,
even though he was married at the time. Chingmy Yau was the leading
actress in the late 80's and early 90's, next to Maggie Cheung Man Yuk,
Bridget Lin and Cheung Man. Wong cast her in a series of Category III
films, though she never appeared nude in any of them. The most notable of
these was Naked Killer (1992). During the height of her success, she
regularly starred along side superstars like Jet Li, Stephen Chow, and
Ekin Cheng.
In 1997 she split up with Wong and her career slowed down significantly.
In 1999 she married Hong Kong fashion designer Shen Jiawei and at present
has two children. Though she has not officially retired from acting, she
has made no announcements or plans to return in any film.
