Biografie
Brigitte Lin was born in Taiwan and made her screen debut while she was still in high school, appearing as a schoolgirl in love with her teacher in Song Cunshou’s OUTSIDE THE WINDOW (1971).
She very soon became the most sought-after actress in Taiwan cinema, with many credits to her name. In 1982, while studying in California, she starred in Patrick Tam’s LOVE MASSACRE – a film which gave her subsequent career a new direction and impetus. She resumed acting in Hong Kong, giving notable performances for ‘new wave’ directors Ann Hui (in STARRY IS THE NIGHT, 1988) and Yim Ho (in RED DUST, 1990, for which she won the Golden Horse Best Actress award) amongst others.
She won many international fans for her role as Asia the Invincible in Ching Siu Tung’s SWORDSMAN II (1991) and its sequel SWORDSMAN III: THE EAST IS RED (1993). After starring in ASHES OF TIME (1994) and CHUNGKING EXPRESS (1994) for Wong Kar Wai, she married and retired from the screen.
