Wikipedia

 

Fala Chen (, born 24 February 1982) is a Chinese-American beauty pageant titleholder. Chen has held the titles of Miss Asian America 2002 and Miss NY Chinese 2004, and placed as runner-up in Miss Chinatown USA 2003 (Miss Chinese Chamber of Commerce) and Miss Chinese International 2005.


Education

Chen was born in Chengdu, People's Republic of China, in 1982. She went to the United States at the age of 15 in 1997. She attended Emory University in Georgia, where she majored in Marketing and International business and minored in Japanese. During her first year in college, she started entering beauty pageants. She graduated from Goizueta Business School of Emory University with a BBA degree in May, 2005.

The Road to TVB

Representing Georgia, Chen entered the Miss Asian America 2002 pageant. At the young age of 20, she took the crown on August 2002. She performed a traditional peacock dance in a golden dress for her talent. Her dance was taught by her mother.

After taking the Miss Asian America crown, she entered the Miss Chinatown USA 2003 pageant. Traveling to San Francisco to compete, she took the Miss Chinese Chamber of Commerce 2003 title (as 1st runner-up). The winner was Miss Honolulu, Hawaii, Darah Dung.

After participating in two Chinese pageants, she participated in the Miss Chinese International pageant. That is when she participated in the Miss NY Chinese 2004 pageant. She joined the pageant on 13 August 2004, and took the crown and three awards (Best in Costume, Best in MTV, and Miss Photogenic.) After winning, she was able to represent New York at the 2005 Miss Chinese International pageant even though she was from Georgia. It was also in 2004 that the pageant accepts delegates around the United States.

In January 2005, Chen traveled to Hong Kong to compete for the Miss Chinese International 2005 crown. On 29 January 2005, she competed at TVB City for the crown. She earned a place as first runner-up for the city of New York. The eventual winner was Leanne Li from Vancouver and the second runner up was Jessica Young from Melbourne.

Career

After a period in New York, Chen returned to Hong Kong and joined TVB. She starred in the TVB series Forensic Heroes, where she started as an accidental murderess.

She crowned the 2006 Miss Chinese International 1st runner-up, Ginney Ann from Bangkok, Thailand.

For a time, Chen was unfavored by audiences due to the dislike many people held towards the characters she played in series such as Steps , which gradually grew into a dislike for the actress herself. However, Chen has recently experienced success in her TVB career with her appearances in Catch Me Now and the 2008 production Moonlight Resonance. She also played a mute character to critical acclaim, earning her audiences' favor once again in the latter TV show.

In 2009, Chen played the main female character in Michael Tse's movie Turning Point as Michael Tse's girlfriend and Francis Ng's sister.
