| Hong Van: Vietnam's Queen of Comedy |
Hong Van (1966- ) is one of the most successful comedic actresses in Vietnam since the late 1980s. Prior to achieving national fame on the stage as a comedic actress, Hong Van had made a name for herself as a pop music singer in Ho Chi Minh City. From her first appearance on the stage in a comedy sketch, it became apparent that her acting skills would overshadow her career as a pop music singer. In 1993, her portrayal on a sketch entitled as Ba Mat Ga, Ong Mat Net (She Lost Her Chicken, He Lost His Manners) of a whacky, acid-tongued, feisty Northern Vietnamese pheasant girl won the hearts of Vietnamese audiences worldwide. From then on, Hong Van has appeared on numerous comedy films and has become a household name to Vietnamese audiences from all around the world.
