| Gong Li is China's most famous actress. Among her significant films are Farewell My Concubine, Chinese Box with Jeremy Irons, and The Emperor and the Assassin, the most expensive movie in Chinese film history. |
 |
| We like her because she uses her movie roles as more than a way to earn a living; it's a platform for her beauty and talent to shine through. She takes every role seriously, and treats her credibility with fans as a sacred trust. (We have been watching way too much PBS.) |

Gong Li was born New Year's Eve, December 31, 1965, in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China. Raised in Jinan, Gong Li is the daughter of an economics professor.
The porcelain beauty always dreamed of becoming a singer, and it was her love of music that led to her applying to China's top music school. Gong Li was rejected from the music school, but was accepted to the Central Drama Academy in Beijing, and graduated in 1985.
The relationship between Gong Li and famed Chinese director Zhang Yimou started when Gong Li was cast in her debut role, as the female lead in 1987's Red Sorghum, while she was still a student. Zhang Yimou and Gong Li were romantically involved for years, and he referred to her as his Muse. |
