	Actors - Maggie Cheung Ho Yee

Maggie Cheung Ho Yee (Traditional Chinese: 張可頤, pinyin: Zhāng Kěyi, born 20 March 1970 in Hong Kong), not to be confused with Maggie Cheung Man Yuk, is a Hong Kong actress, under contract to the television channel TVB. As such she owes her popularity for her work to that channel's television series, with relatively few film credits to her name.

Born in 1970 she competed in TVB's 1994 Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, reaching the final five but not placing. However she did gain a special award for best "potential artist" and was signed to the channel soon afterwards .

The popularity of artists in the Hong Kong television market depends as much on the popularity of the characters in a series as to the ability of the actors and it was not until 1998 with the series "Old Time Buddies" that she achieved mainstream popularity.

In 2003, she won the most coveted award a TVB actress can receive, Favorite Lead Actress, beating other "fa dan", a Cantonese term borrowed from Cantonese operas and roughly corresponding to modern notions of main actresses, such as Jessica Hsuan, Charmaine Sheh, and Kenix Kwok. In 2004, she was in the race for the award again with new series that included "The Conqueror's Story" and "War and Beauty". However, the filming for her Mainland China series, "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", interfered with the award ceremony, and Gigi Lai won the award.

Recently, she has been diagnosed with the rare Graves' Disease preventing her from filming "Au Revoir Shanghai" and she was replaced by Anne Heung.
