Tavia Yeung turned 29 years old on August 30th, 2008. Having graduated from TVB’s acting class in 1998, she is one of those rare gems of TVB actresses that didn’t come from Miss. HK or pageants. Looking back it has now been a decade of acting in TVB series for her. She first gained major attention playing Maggie Cheung Hor Yi’s sister because they look really like sisters in The Awakening Story. Later on, she even got to star in the grand production of the time, Golden Faith, with Gallen Lo, Jessica, Deric Wan, and Raymond Lam.
Winning Most Improved Actress in 2003, it seems that her path as one of TVB leading fa dans was all set. Tavia became a hot favorite for overseas fans, but does not seem to win HK audience’s hearts with her roles after the win. She got some attention from The Academy, but unfortunately there were more lesser-favored series following suit.
Starting in late 2006 with Dicey Business, Tavia's luck changed and she is more involved with TVB grand productions. Although most of her characters in the series are supporting or guest stars, nonetheless, she is able to gain more publicity and attention with her roles, and her acting skills are being recognized by the audience.
After not being female main lead for so many years, the last being Twins of Brother and some may say The Academy, she is given the lead role in a new TVB series revolving around the salt trade in 2008. Tavia’s character in Moonlight Resonance has also gotten a favorable response from the audience, so hopefully, Tavia will be able to lead more TVB series in the future!
Here's to Tavia's hard work and perseverance throughout the decade she has been at TVB. She represents hope that TVB do have actresses with talent and good acting skills that are not from pageants! Wish Tavia a successful year ahead (especially at this year’s anniversary awards!) and that she will continue to amaze the audience with her acting!
