Josie Ho
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Josie Ho Chiu Yi (何超儀; born December 26, 1974) is a famous singer and actor from Hong Kong. She is the daughter of the famous entrepreneur Stanley Ho and wife of alive band member and lesser-known actor Conroy Chan Chi-Chung. She was involved in numerous movies, TV commercials, TV dramas, and singing performances.
Some of her fans admire her for her devotion to acting. She has played many challenging roles including a few as prostitutes in several movies. Some roles she played contrasted strongly with her own wealthy upbringing as a billionaire's daughter.
For the film Exiled, Ho did not work with a script. Recalling the experience in a recent interview, she said of director Johnnie To, "[He] basically tells actors what to do...Johnnie wants us to come to the set with our mind completely clean, like a white piece of paper. That way, he can draw whatever he wishes on us." Curiously, she did not find this method of improvisional acting difficult. [1]
