Linh Nga (/lɪn nɑː/ LIN NAH; born 3 January 1982),[12] also known as Lina Linh Nga, is a Vietnamese film director, film producer, actress,[13] and screenwriter[14][15] working in the United States. She is the founder of 9669 Films.
Biography and career
Linh Nga was born in Hanoi, Vietnam, on January 3, 1982 to Quang Duy Nguyen, a composer, and Thuy Bich Thi Le, an opera singer.[16][17] When she was nine years old, her father left her mother to pursue his passion for music. As a result, the family moved frequently.[18]
Linh Nga began her career on stage at an early age. She often sang and performed at friends' and family's functions, and was part of a local song and dance troupe.[19] In 1990, she earned her first award for "Nam Dinh City's Best Young Voice". Two years later, she joined the Club of Love (Cau lac bo tinh thuong), a registered charity group formed by Tuong Vi. She began her professional dancing career at the age of ten.[20] In 1992, she began attending the Vietnam Academy of Dance (Truong Cao Dang mua Viet Nam),[21] where she achieved artistic and academic honors upon graduation.
Linh Nga was discovered at the age of thirteen by a newspaper photographer, when he noticed her during her dancing performance at the Vietnam Academy of Dance and took a photograph of her. Following this, Linh decided to pursue a career as a model.[22] (Đẹp) modeling magazine then started representing her.[23]
In 1999, Linh Nga graduated from the Vietnam Academy of Dance with a BA degree. Later that year, she was introduced to Giang Son, a composer for the Five Lines Band (Năm Dòng Kẻ).[24] Son invited her to provide vocals for the band. In January 2000, the Five Lines Band released its self-titled debut, but it failed to garner success until 2005. In March 2000, Linh Nga left the Five Lines Band in order to pursue her career in film directing. She made her film debut with a small supporting role in the 1999 romance drama Khoang cach (The Distance), directed by female director, Bạch Diệp. The success of Khoang cach brought Nga prominence.[25]
In 2000, Linh Nga began studying film directing at the Hanoi Academy of Theatre and Cinema.[26] She wrote, directed, and starred in her first film as a filmmaker, Xuoi nguoc duong tran, in 2002. The film earned a National Television Award for Best Television Series of the year. In 2006, Linh Nga graduated. During this time, she also worked for Vietnam Television Station.[27] as an actress.[28] Upon graduation, Nga went abroad and successfully applied to Chapman University in California,[29] pursuing her Master of Fine Arts[30] in film production and sound design emphasis.[31][32]
In May 2014, Linh Nga graduated from Chapman University. That same year, she founded her first film company in the United States, 9669 Films, LLC.[33] In November 2017, 9669 Films released its action comedy What's the good of being good? (2017 film).
Business ventures in Vietnam
In 2003, Linh Nga helped found the Linh Nga Communication and Trading Company Lmt with her brother Linh Duy. The film company closed in 2010. Linh Nga also founded restaurants in Hanoi.[34][35]
Personal life
Linh Nga reportedly had a romantic relationship with Thuyet Tran, known as Thuyet Buon Vua, in 2000.[36] The pair planned to marry in March 2002, but called off the engagement. A week later Thuyet was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison related to the Năm Cam case,[37] which has been ranked as one of the largest criminal cases in Vietnam since the 19th century.[38][39][40][41] In 2007 she married Johnny K.P.; they were divorced in 2011.[42][43] She has two daughters.[42]
