Michelle Yeoh, a pioneering actress and the first Asian woman to win the Oscar for Best Actress, has shared her outlook on life at an event in Busan, South Korea. She said she is not afraid of failure and is always ready to embrace new challenges.
According to the actress, life is a journey open to every possibility. That spirit, she said, carried her from her early days as an action star to the more varied and complex roles she has taken on since — and ultimately to her historic Oscar win.
Michelle Yeoh's remarks came during an event in Busan, where she appeared as a guest. She has repeatedly stressed in the past that age or preconceptions should not stand in the way of pursuing new goals.
Her becoming the first Asian woman to win the golden statuette in the Best Actress category is seen as a major milestone for Asian cinema as a whole and for the Asian acting community in Hollywood in particular.
