Although Shirley still looks younger than her age, Miss. Shirley Yeung turns the big 30 on August 7th, 2008! After winning Miss. HK in 2001, she has now been in the entertainment industry for almost 8 years! In over 15 TVB series, she has starred as guest stars, to supporting, to main lead.
Other than winning Miss. HK, she has won the Most Improved Award for Angels of Mission in 2004, and Best Supporting Actress for Always Ready in 2006, Most Outstanding Actress Award at the 42nd Chicago International TV Festival in 2006. Quite a load of achievements!
Even though she has gained a lot of awards, there have been many criticisms about her acting. Often typecasted in cute girl roles or disabled roles one after the other and also being heavily promoted didn’t help lower the criticisms. However, in 2007, her character, Ka Yee, as the manipulative villainess in The Brink of Law made heads turned and gained many praises as well as fans.
In 2008, she has managed to guest star in two grand productions, Forensics Heroes II and Moonlight Resonance, and the serie in which she plays supporting (The Silver Chambers of Sorrow) became one of TVB top rated series of this year. She is also in the remake of TVB’s serie The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, which will probably air sometime later this year or in 2009.
Turning 30 years old, I sincerely wish Shirley a great year ahead and that she will be able to give more mature and improved performances during the year ahead!
