With 'Last Christmas,' Michelle Yeoh adds comedy to her versatile slate.
Though she admits that the industry hasn’t been kind to older actresses, she’s optimistic.
“I think it’s because older women are making opportunities for themselves. They are producing their own TV shows and saying ‘I’m not going to wait around for someone to tell me I can do this because I know I can and I’m going to do it,’” she said. “I think that’s what needed to change very, very much. And you can see with all the different platforms we have now, there are so many roles being created, and a lot of the times they’re being done by these women.
Yeoh is adamant about the importance of being proactive in enacting change and getting what she wants. It’s a guiding principle she’s lived by for some time. Yeoh even bought herself the famed emerald ring that was used in “Crazy Rich Asians.”"If I want flowers, I’m going to send them to me.”
