Linda Chung

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Linda Chung Ka-Yan (Chinese Name: 鍾嘉欣) was born on the April 9, 1984 in Vancouver, Canada.

Chung is the youngest in the family and has one elder brother and one elder sister. She graduated from Templeton Secondary School in 2002 in Vancouver. After, she then studied one year at the University of British Columbia, Canada. In 2004, she joined Miss Chinese International, a beauty contest organized by TVB, and she became the third Vancouverite in 4 years to win Miss Chinese International. The 1st and 2nd runner-up in the same year was Mandy Cho (Hong Kong) and Carlene Aguilar (Manila). She was also the winner of Miss Chinese Vancouver 2003, along with Dorothy Chan and Queenie Chung.

She is now a signed actress for TVB. Linda is one of the most popular and rising newcomers for TVB. Her debut in Virtues of Harmony II shot her straight into popularity with her memorable performance as "Hung Bak Lam" (Michelle) and her dreamy pairing with Steven Ma. Linda is known as "Advertisement Queen" in Hong Kong because she has a lot of sponsors and advertisement deals. In her short year in Hong Kong thus far, the success and popularity that she has achieved is phenomenal. Now, she is even a singer in TVB's new album "金牌女兒紅" (All about women) with her first song "發誓" (Swear).

Linda made her debut performing Sandy Lam's "Honesty" at TVB Extravaganza a few months ago. Her song for this CD is supposedly the themesong to her new series, 搜神傳 (an ancient mythical series about Gods).
