[edit] Picture

Thanx who changed the pic. this is better! --icaktan 22:51, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neither

I heard he proposed to her, she declined, he announced it, and she denied it. It appears she does not want to get married to him at this time. As recently as March 2007, she denied an upcoming marriage despite continuing reports in the rumor mill.

[edit] Married?

I just watched the Candadian grand-prix training session, and the commentator described Yeoh as Todt's "new wife". -- 86.131.221.65 23:33, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Engaged?

I rember reading in the newspaper a while ago that she was sporting a ring.

[edit] Redirect to Malaysian Actors???

Don't mind me, but Michelle Yeoh's nationality is still Malaysian not China Chinese. Should her article be redirected? TY.Gammadion 16:08, 14 October 2005 (UTC) --

[edit] Ascension to fame

I have a small question regarding the phrasing of: Like many other Hong Kong stars, Yeoh has attempted to break into Hollywood. Despite starring in the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) --garnering considerable praise as one of the genre's most popular Bond Girls-- and the popular Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), which also starred Zhang Ziyi, she could have accepted the role of Seraph in the two Matrix sequels, but due to a scheduling conflict she was unable to accept them, so the Matrix writers changed Seraph into a male character and cast Collin Chou in the role.

Should the word "despite" be changed in the second sentence to "in addition to"? and is it possible to break the second sentence up into smaller sentences, since it's kind of long? 64.228.200.218 05:39, 26 December 2006 (UTC) Yinh

Agree.. done -- 14p mkaef 20:21, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Red links

@ INXS-Girl: my edit from 16:20, 17 March 2007 inadvertently reintroduced the red links you deleted, sorry.. I realized that just now. I was going to revert to your version without red links, but then got unsure about it.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Red_link is not clear about it. Someone else please decide. -- 14p mkaef 19:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality of section "Ascencion to fame"

This section suffers from an an biased Anglo-American view in

• stressing an alledged desire of Michelle Yeoh (or actors in general) to succeed in the American film business (as opposed to the Asian or European film business). Michelle Yeoh's [own statements] suggest no preference of her of American over Asian or European engagements.
• specifying among her recent films only those Hollywood-produced or produced in English.

[edit] Private life

I removed "But strangely were originally announced by Todt." since it really isn't germane to this article nor corroborated. Erikkukun 17:24, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
