Zhang Ziyi
Date of birth: 9 February 1979 in Beijing, China.

She was discovered by Zhang Yimou, the internationally celebrated director of 'Raise the Red Lantern', in his film 'The Road Home' (1999). Her performance was so assured that when Ang Lee was casting actors for his high-profile martial-arts extravaganza, 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' (2000) he immediately chose Zhang Ziyi for the role of the impetuous aristocrat Jen Yu.

'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"s roaring success ensured that Zhang Ziyi would become a familiar face to filmgoers. Her role garnered her the Toronto Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2000 as well as the Most Promising Actress at the Chicago Film Critics Association Awards. In 2001, she was voted one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in the World.
