Edit ProfileEducation
She attended Boston College and earned a degree in communications before returning to Hong Kong in the early 1990s with her then-husband, Chung Wai Ming.
Career
She is an American actress active primarily in Hong Kong television and film. Along with Maggie Cheung Ho-yee, Kenix Kwok, Jessica Hsuan, and Ada Choi, she is known as one of the Top 5 "Fa Dans" (term used for actresses with high popularity) of TVB from the mid-1990s to mid-2000s. As a child, she had hoped to become a dancer, but because of an injury when she was a teenager, she was forced to abandon her dreams as a professional dancer.
Chan married her manager Mike Chung Ka-hung (鐘家鴻).
The couple has one child. In the mid-1990s, television director Teng Dak-Hei asked her to participate in his upcoming series, the fifth installment to the popular TVB drama series, File of Justice.
Chan"s performance in this series about young, yuppie lawyers caught the attention of the Hong Kong audience—and TVB. She signed on as a TVB actress and has since made other series, most notably Untraceable Evidence, playing the calm and collected forensics doctor, "Pauline Lip". And in Healing Hands, a TVB series known for its cutting edge medical topics.
Having already starred in various TVB dramas, she is no longer signed on with TVB as a full-time actress.
In November 2006, Chan announced she would be returning to film a TVB serial in February 2007.
