Malaysian actress and television host (born 1977)
Florence Tan Siew Lee (born 30 June 1977) is a Malaysian actress and host who is based in Singapore and Hong Kong. She was a full-time Mediacorp artist from 1997 to 2006, and she continues to take on filming projects. In 2006, she left Mediacorp to expand her career in China and other parts of Asia.
Career
Tan joined TCS (the predecessor of MediaCorp) after winning the gender category on Star Search in 1997. She made her debut in Immortal Love, acting alongside veterans like Chew Chor Meng, Pan Lingling, and Xiang Yun. In 1998, she was cast in the wuxia drama series The Return of the Condor Heroes and went on to appear in several period drama series, including The Legendary Swordsman and The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. Her final series with Mediacorp was Zero to Hero, in 2005.
In 2006, after getting married, Tan decided to leave the Singapore television industry and subsequently proceeded to launch her career in China in 2011 after signing with Lafeng Entertainment. Her performance as a scheming concubine in the drama Mystery in the Palace (深宫諜影) received positive reviews.[1]
Tan later returned to Singapore and made a cameo appearance in the 2012 Mediacorp anniversary series Joys of Life.[2] She has since worked in film and television in China and other parts of Asia. In 2019, she co-starred in a WeMovie[clarification needed] alongside the semi-finalists of the 2019 Star Search competition.[3]
Personal life
Tan married Taiwanese businessman Jack Liu in 2006. The couple has twin daughters, who were born in 2008. As of 2023, Tan and her family are based in Hong Kong.[4]
