 Karena Lam mini-bio: The Vancouver-born actress, of Taiwanese ancestry, was working at her
Vancouver family restaurant when she was discovered by a talent scout from
Taiwan in 1993, aged only 15. The scout persuaded her to fly to Taiwan that
Christmas, alone, for a singing audition in the hope of securing a
professional contract. The audition was a success and she released two
albums, her debut album in 1995 and her second album later in 1999. However
both were met with modest success.
Her film debut in 2002 changed all this and propelled her to real stardom.
Karena starred in three successful Hong Kong films in the same year, winning
the awards of Best Supporting Actress and Best New Performer for her role in
July Rhapsody directed by Ann Hui (at the 2002 Hong Kong Film Awards
) and for Inner Senses by Lo Chi Leung (at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards),
gaining her recognition as a talented young actress and marking the start of
her film career.
