Profession Actor
Helena Law Lan MH is a veteran Hong Kong actress in both the film and TV industry. She started out in the film industry, cast in antagonistic roles during the black and white film era. It was during this time that she took the stage name of Law Lan based on the advice of her boss because he said the name was reminiscent of Shanghai socialites, and this name better suited the type of roles that she played. In 1971, Law Lan joined TVB and took part in numerous drama series. Here, she played a variety of different characters instead of only being casted in antagonistic roles as she had previously. She also took part in the popular nightly variety show, Enjoy Yourself Tonight, which included skits, singing, dancing, and variety games, filmed in front of a live audience. As well, Law Lan has been popularly cast playing roles as a supernatural medium in over 36 Hong Kong horror movies. It was her performance as 龍婆 in the movie, Bullets Over Summer, which garnered her the "Best Actress" award at the 19th Hong Kong Film Award in 2000, making her the oldest winner of this coveted award.
