	Actors - Cecilia Cheung

Cecilia Cheung (張栢芝, born May 24, 1980) is a Hong Kong actress and singer of Chinese and one-quarter British descent. She is affectionately known for her husky sultry voice.

Cheung's parents divorced when she was just a child. Her father's triad connections are well known in the media. Afterwards Cheung was sent to Australia to live with her aunt when she was 14. But before completing her secondary education, she returned to Hong Kong, aged 17, because she was missing her family back home too much. Cecilia speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, and English

Then in 1998, while helping a hair salon friend at a catwalk show, she was noticed and given a chance to appear in a TV commercial advertising lemon tea. Later, Cheung made her film debut as a young nightclub hostess in Stephen Chow's The King of Comedy (1999), followed soon after by Fly Me to Polaris (1999). The latter role earned her the award for Best Newcomer at the Hong Kong Film Awards. In the same year, Cecilia launched her singing career with her first Cantopop album Any Weather (1999).

For the movie Lost in Time (2003), Cheung was Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
