Born in 1971, Anita
has been one of the more popular actresses in HK during the
1990's. Her first film was Days of Being Dumb and after a few
small parts, she came into her own with her roles in UFO films
such as Tom, Dick and Hairy, He Ain't Heavy, He's my Father
and He is a Woman, She is a Man. Her portrayal of slightly quirky
characters with a big heart captured the film goers imagination
and from 1993 through 1996, it felt like she was in every other
film to come out of HK.
Some of her other popular films are Age of Miracles, C'est la
Vie, Mon Cherie, Chinese Feast, From Beijing with Love, Hu Du
Men and Golden Girls. She has even done a few action films like
A Taste of Killing and Romance and Crystal Fortune Run. Like
Audrey Hepburn, her short hair style was quite the style of
choice for a while. She has been teamed up with Lau Ching-Wan
in a number of films and they always have great chemistry in
their films.
Perhaps she did too
many films because her popularity seems to have plummeted of
late. I still think she is terrific though and look forward
to anything she is in. She was absolutely wonderful in two recent
films - Till Death Do Us Part and Enter the Eagles.
