Jessica Hsuan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jessica Hester Hsuan (Chinese: 宣萱 [IPA: syn hyn]) or Suen Huen (born August 18, 1970 in Hong Kong) is a Chinese actress.

She is currently one of the most popular television actresses of Hong Kong. She started her career in late 1992 and early 1993. Back in the 90's, Jessica was constantly in the limelight for not getting along with a few actresses.

Jessica will be changing her contract to a "per-series" as of late 2006, after it was disclosed that she did not renew her current contract. She will no longer be under TVB management, and will be under her former manager, Carri Ma.
