Joan Chen
Actress Joan Chen, known for The Last Emperor — the biggest winner at the 1988 Oscars — recalled her early difficulties at a master class during the 3rd Pingyao International Film Festival.
Chen, 58, said she started her acting career when she was 14.
A native of Shanghai, she says the Shanghai Film Studio — the largest state-owned film production company in the city — was recruiting cast members for a revolutionary film set in the Jinggang Mountains, where the Communist Party of China set up its first rural revolutionary base in the late 1920s.
