Faye would be a brilliant cover girl for Vogue China as well But for now, I'll just bask in the glory that is Maggie...B)

Maggie Cheung is a force of nature. She is an astoundingly talented actress who, like many Hong Kong actresses, learned her craft while in front of the camera. A former runner-up for Miss Hong Kong (beauty pagents were one of the main recruiting grounds for HK actresses), during the late 1980s was in as many as 12 movies per year.

In addition to the Cannes award for Clean (made with former husband Oliver Assayas) she won the Silver Bear award for best actress in 1992 for Yeun Ling-yuk, released as Centre Stage. She has also four Golden Horse Awards for best actress from the Taiwan film festival plus a bunch from the Hong Kong Flim Awards.

She is astoinishingly talented and it is hard to pick one performance as her best. Both Center Stage and Comrades, Almost a Love Story will have you in tears. In the Mood for Love is almost beyond compare and she was terrific in many of the all star New Year's comedies from the 1980s and 1990s, stealing the show from casts of Hong Kong film royalty.

I am quite taken with her and own about 30 of her movies on DVD/VCD (and one on VHS).

Many thanks to all who have found or done scans from this issue of Vogue. She was featured in WestEast a few issues ago and almost all the images in that one.

I love Maggie Cheung too. She truely redefines what modern/contemporary Chinese beauty and elegance could be. She is just gorgeous. She has the class and charisma that most other Chinese actresses and celebrities (I mean the entire Chinese-speaking territories, not just mainland) are short of.

Maggie is seriously one of the most gorgeous women ever, she looked great in the 80s and still looks amazing now.
