Flora Chan
Template:Infobox Chinese actor and singer Flora Chan is a Hong Kong television actress. Flora Chan was born in Hong Kong and emigrated to Boston, MA at a young age. As a child, she had hoped to become a dancer, but because of an injury when she was a teenager she was forced to abandon her dreams as a professional dancer. She attended Boston College and earned a degree in Journalism before returning to Hong Kong in the early 1990s with her then-husband. She and her husband divorced in 2000. Flora married her manager 鐘家鴻. Rather than getting her start from modeling or a beauty pageant, the Miss Hong Kong Pageant, (香港小姐競選) which provides actresses for HK's television station, TVB, Flora Chan was a reporter for the TVB English Channel - TVB Pearl. In the mid-1990s, television director Teng Dak Hei asked her to participate in his upcoming series, the fifth installment to the popular TVB drama series, "Files of Justice".
Flora Chan's performance in this series about young, yuppie lawyers caught the attention of the HK audience -- and TVB. She signed on as a TVB actress and has since made other series, most notably "Untraceable Evidence", playing the calm and collected forensics doctor, "Pauline Lip"; and in "Healing Hands", a popular TVB series known for its cutting edge medical topics and its star-studded cast which included Lawrence Ng, Ada Choi, Bowie Lam and William So.
In 2002, Flora won the coveted "Most Favorite TV Actress" award presented annually by TVB. By this time in her career, Flora already starred in various TVB dramas and was known and loved by audiences for her roles as cool professionals. Flora is no longer signed on with TVB as a full-time actress. In December 2006, Flora announced she would be returning to film a TVB serial in February 2007.
Flora Chan has also recorded 3 albums.
Flora Chan gave birth to a baby daughter on September 17th, 2007.
