Than Thuy Ha

Than Thuy Ha  (1979-    ) is a former fashion model turned television and film actress in Vietnam.

 Born on April 27, 1979 in Tien Giang province in Southern region of Vietnam, Than Thuy Ha grew up in an impoverished family.  Due to her family's financial hardship, she started working while still a child helping out her parents selling fruits and juice in a kiosque at the local street market in the Mekong Delta.  Patrons would take notice of this fair skinned, beautiful young girl often suggesting to her to one day consider pursuing a career as a fashion model.  To Than Thuy Ha at the time, a modeling career seemed rather far fetched and unrealistic.  Eventually, she would give in to such advice given to her by these patrons when at the age of 16, she would enter a local beauty pageant and end up taking first prize.  From then on, Than Thuy Ha's life changed forever.

By the age of 16, Than Thuy Ha relocated to Ho Chi Minh City and had established herself as one of Vietnam's most successful fashion models. Her earnings from fashion shows, print work and commercials would enable her to support her family and take them out of poverty.  After a few years working as a top fashion model, Than Thuy Ha launched her own fashion line named Anna along with a boutique in Ho Chi Minh City.  Unfortunately, due to her lack of experience and knowledge in how to run a business, Than Thuy Ha's fashion line and boutique tumbled shortly after its grand opening.

Coinciding with the failure of her first business venture, Than Thuy Ha would also experience another obstacle with the ending of her modeling career after ten years.  Regardless, Than Thuy Ha remained undaunted as she forged ahead with the opening of another business, a cosmetics retail store in Ho Chi Minh City, and the beginning of a new career as an actress.  Her persistence and determination would pay off as she would find success in both her new business and acting career.

As an actress, Than Thuy Ha was able to immediately land many television and film roles.  She has since become one of the most popular actresses in Vietnam.  Among the films and television movies Than Thuy Ha has starred in include Lau Dai Tinh Ai, Co Biec, Manh Vo, Ghen, Luc Van Tren, Nguoi Gac Mo and Chuong Reo La Ban.
