Biography

About Joan Chen

Edited by the community

Joan Chen stands at 5'4" with black hair and a natural, average build, her real 34C figure a quiet constant across decades of screen work. Born in Shanghai, China, on April 26, 1961, this American actress first turned heads in China with the 1979 film Little Flower. American audiences met her properly in the 1987 epic The Last Emperor, and she has since moved through Twin Peaks, Red Rose White Rose, Saving Face, and The Home Song Stories with a steady, unshowy grace. Her directing debut, Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl, confirmed she could shape stories as well as inhabit them. Now 65, she remains a fluid bridge between Chinese and American cinema, her filmography itself a small map of those crossings. The measurements are compact, 34–24–36, but her career has never been about scale. It is simply long, varied, and still in motion.
