Francoise
Yip
(Yip Fong Wah, Yeh Fang Hua, Francoise C.J. Yip)
Actress
Born: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
French-Chinese Vancouver native Francoise Yip was introduced to audiences in
Jackie Chan's Rumble in the Bronx (1995), receiving two Hong Kong Film Award
nominations including Best Newcomer. What followed was a string of femme fatale roles;
including the Category III films Wild and the Fatal Attraction retread Infatuation.
In 1997 Francoise left Hong Kong to pursue her career in North America, enjoying a high
profile when Rumble in the Bronx was re-released and became #1 in America. She was
the only actor to dub her own lines in English when the Jet Li film Black Mask was
repackaged for the U.S. market in 1998. She has since performed in some American movies
and television series and is featured in the independent Canadian romantic comedy
Lunch With Charles (2001).
