_____ appeared in TAI – PAN _____ moved to the United States
_____ left school and studied at a film studio _____ was born in China in 1961
_____ starred in The Last Emperor _____ got her first part a TV show

Joan Chen is famous both in China, where she grew up, and in
the United States, where she now lives. How did Joan become
a famous actress in two countries? It’s an interesting story.

Joan Chen was born in Shanghai in 1961. When she was 14,
some people from a film studio came to her school and chose
her to study at the studio. She was happy about this chance, but
mainly she liked the idea of getting out of school.

Soon, however, she discovered that she really liked acting. At

age 18, she won the Golden Rooster, China’s top film award.

In the late 1970s, Joan’s parents, who were doctors, moved to

the United States. Joan joined them when she was 20 and went
to college there.

Her parents hoped she would study medicine. Instead, she

majored in film and later looked for work as an actress, to work
in the United States, Joan had to start all over again. She told
Hollywood agents that she was an actress in China, but she
only got some small parts in TV shows.

One day Joan went to speak to a director who was making a

movie called TAI-PAN. The interview didn’t go well. As she
walked away, a man in a car noticed her. The man was Dino De
Laurentiis, the film’s producer. He immediately offered her a
leading part. A year later, she starred in Bernardo Bertolucci's
The Last Emperor and was on her way to worldwide fame.
