Karena Lam

(Lam Ka Yan, Lin Jia Xin, Karena Lin)

Actress, Singer

Born: August 17, 1978 Languages: Chinese, English

Though she released albums in 1995 and 1999, it wasn't until her film debut in 2002 that

Canadian Karena Lam Ka Yan truly became a star. Her role in Ann Hui's July Rhapsody,

depicting a teacher-student relationship with Jacky Cheung, won her Best New Performer

and Best Supporting Actress Awards in both Hong Kong and at Taiwan's even more prestigious

Golden Horse Awards. The consensus was clear: Karena rocks.

The same year, Karena played a dancer who shares a doomed romance with Nicholas Tse

in Dante Lam's Tiramisu.

She followed up with her third pairing with a Cantopop superstar- playing aside Hong Kong

veteran Leslie Cheung in the psychological thriller Inner Senses. Her role as a girl who

sees ghosts earned her another HKFA Best Supporting Actress nomination, in what was

to become Leslie Cheung's final film.

Other than movies, Karena has also starred in TV projects in Hong Kong and Taiwan, been

a World Cup soccer correspondent for HK cable, worked as a VJ for MTV China, and

collaborated with Aaron Kwok on a HK radio drama.
