The 'Everywhere Everywhere All At Once' star said she faced stereotypes early in her acting career. Now, she's nominated for her first Academy Award.
Michelle Yeoh was a star in Hong Kong. After winning the"Miss Malaysia" beauty pageant in her 20s, she found herself shooting commercials with Jackie Chan, leading to starring roles in action films in Asia, like"Supercop.""It was all stereotypes," Yeoh said on the March 5 episode of Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist."I mean, it was every script that you read, the Asian has to come from Chinatown.
"For the first time ... I understood that I’m a minority," she told Geist."I almost couldn’t understand the word. It was, like, 'I think I better look it up in a dictionary.' What the hell is a minority?” The actor has already made history as the first Asian woman nominated for an Oscar in the best actress category. Yeoh said to win would be an opportunity to the open door for other Asian actors.
"Everything Everywhere All At Once" is nominated for 11 awards at the 2023 Oscars. Yeoh said she never expected a"little film" to receive so much accolades.
