Thanh Kim Huệ (1954- 2021) was a famous actress of Southern Vietnamese folk opera known as "cải lương".

Born as Bùi Thị Huệ on November 14, 1955 in Saigon, South Vietnam, she made her professional debut on the Southern Vietnamese folk opera theater stage at the tender age of 13.  One year later, Thanh Kim Huệ would meet her future husband, fellow Southern Vietnamese folk opera actor Thanh Điền who is 8 years her senior, while she was  performing with the Hoa Phượng Folk Opera Theater Troupe.  She along with Thanh Điền would later join the Kim Chung 2 Folk Opera Theater Troupe.  Prior to 1975, Thanh Kim Huệ had already established herself as one of the brightest, young talents of the Southern Vietnamese folk opera theater starring in many successful "cải lương" plays including Chuyện Tình Lan và Điệp with Chí TâmĐời Cô Hạnh with Minh Vương, Mỹ Châu, Phượng Liên and Thanh Tuấn and Đường Gươm Nguyên Bá with Minh Vương, Thanh Tuấn, Chí Tâm, Thanh Sang and Hồng Nga.



Married to Thanh Điền since 1975, the couple were parents to two grown children, a son named Nguyễn Đăng Quang (b. 1977) and a daughter named Nguyễn Đức Hồng Loan (b. 1986).  Both she and her husband had been able to maintain successful, uninterrupted careers as performers of Southern Vietnamese folk opera after the Fall of Saigon.  Up until her death, the couple had resided in Ho Chi Minh City where they owned and operated a professional photography studio located on the first floor of their home.  Thanh Kim Huệ passed away on December 23, 2021 in Ho Chi Minh City after a long battle with cancer.  She is interred at the Hoa Vien Cemetery in the provincial town of Binh Duong.  .
