Cynthia Koh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cynthia Koh(许美珍) (born 25 March 1974) is a Singaporean/Chinese actress, signed on under Mediacorp. She started acting at the age of 18 in 1992.
Having acted in almost 40 dramas to date, Koh made her debut onstage in the critically acclaimed Men At Forty-Eight in 1997, where she won her first Top 10 Most Popular Female Artiste award. Later, she won the Best Actress Award in Star Awards 1999 with her breakthrough performance in Stepping Out, in which she played a long-suffering woman fighting against her fate. This role earned her a nomination in the same category at the Asian Television Awards; however, she did not win the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artiste award that year. She is also one of the first Singaporean actresses to have ever shaved her head for a role.
More recent roles include her performance in the 100 episode drama, Portrait of Home, which led to a Best Actress nomination in the Star Awards 2005. Some have even said that she was very under-rated and should be given more roles. Audiences would get to see her in a new drama, All in the Family which makes its debut in June 2007 at 7pm.
