Former Bond girl Datuk Michelle Yeoh works once again with the director of her Hollywood debut Bond flick. Michelle Yeoh is a most energetic and industrious personality who is
never shy of hard-work. This year, the leading Asian actress features
in three Hollywood movies including "Escape from Huang Shi" (known
earlier as "The Children of Huang Shi"), yet she makes it a point to
include projects that are close to her heart such as the global road
safety campaign that takes up much of her time and energy.
In
"Escape from Huang Shi", she portrays Madame Wang, a stately
noblewoman-turned-merchant who helps Englishman George Hogg in his
quest to spare 60 orphaned boys the horrors of the Japanese invasion by
leading them 1,000km across the snow-covered Liu Pan Shan mountains to
safety at the edge of the Mongolian desert. Yeoh first worked with the film director in 1997 when she made her
Hollywood debut as Bond babe Wai Lin in "Tomorrow Never Dies".
