Who is Michelle Yeoh

Michelle has been a movie star in Asia for years, but first broke into the American consciousness as the Chinese agent Wan Li in the James Bond film, Tomorrow Never Dies.

Yeoh has kicked alongside the martial arts greats - Jet Li, Chow Yun-Fat and of course, Jackie Chan. They've all had to learn to share the stage with a strong woman who can give as good as they can.

Michelle does have a softer side, though, as seen in Crouching Tiger, Memoirs of a Geisha, The Children of Huang Shi. Most recently she has ventured into politics by portraying the Burmese democratic leader - Aung San Suu Kyi as portrayed in the 2011 movie The Lady . But there is still no competition for her as one of the greatest female action stars ever.

True Legend (2010)
I've read two different synopses for this one, so I'm not precisely sure just what it's about. Except for kick-butt fighting. Yeoh plays Sister Yu, isn't in any fight scenes in the trailer but it looks pretty good. Came out in the UK last year. Not sure when it'll be available in the US.

Reign of Assassins (2010)
Yeoh plays assassin Zeng Jing, who steals the magic remains of a monk, then starts a new life as a fabric merchant in the big city. While at the bank one day, Zeng fights off a gang of robbers but is recognized by their leader, the Wheel King (Xueqi Wang), who has a bone to pick with his long-lost protégé. She's still got that great fighting form! Trailer
