Beauty Isabella Leong  

Isabella Leong (pinyin: Liáng Luò Shĩ) is a Hong Kong-based singer, actress, and model of Portuguese and Chinese descent. She is considered a symbol of a new generation of actresses in Hong Kong's entertainment industry. She can speak Cantonese, Portuguese, Mandarin and English.

Isabella Leong was born on June 23, 1988. Her father died when Leong was six months old. Leong's family struggled, as her Portuguese mother had to work hard to raise both her and her elder sister, but her father´s Chinese family always did what they could to support Isabella. They remained in Macau until Isabella was 15 years old.

To help her mother support the family, Leong joined the Emperor Entertainment Group at 12 years old and began to work as a teenage model. She later turned to singing and released her debut album, Isabella, at 16 years of age. Isabella did not achieve the success hoped for and Leong turned to acting instead. In 2004, Leong appeared as a guest star in the TV series Sunshine Heartbeat. In 2005, she made her film debut in The Eye 10 and also appeared in Bug Me Not, for which she was nominated as Best New Performer in the Hong Kong Film Awards.

In 2006 Leong won the leading role in the highly successful Isabella. The film allowed her to win a number of award nominations -- Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards, the Fantasporto and the Hong Kong Film Awards, and an award at Golden Bauhinia Awards for Best New Performer. The film also won the Silver Berlin award at the Berlin Film Festival for Best Film Music. Best of all, the film led to an increased level of public recognition and admiration, especially from the China community.
