Biography
Gloria Yip is a Hong Kong actress and singer born January 13, 1973. She is best known for four films with director Lam Ngai Kai, including a special appearance in Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky and a principal supporting role in the cult classic Saviour of the Soul. She has frequently collaborated with actors Yuen Biao, Lai Kai Ming, and director Wong Jing.
Yip was born in Hong Kong, the elder of two sisters and daughter of prominent businessman Yip Shao, and was discovered as a teenager by a Japanese talent scout. Her early roles were primarily cute and comedic, while her more recent post-divorce roles have primarily been dramatic. Like many Hong Kong film stars, she pursued a parallel singing career, touring in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea and releasing more than half a dozen CDs.
During her marriage, she went into semi-retirement to focus on motherhood and artistic pursuits including embroidery and clay sculpture. Her divorce in 2000 caused significant media attention in Hong Kong. She graduated from Hong Kong Art School in 2008. Yip is fluent in Cantonese, Japanese, Mandarin, and English. As a Capricorn life-path 7, she embodies the introspective, artistic sensibility reflected in her post-fame pivot to sculpture and embroidery.
