History

Hà Xuyên (b. 1956, Thai Binh province) is a Vietnamese dancer, film and television actress. She is best known for her role as the spy Ngọc Mai in the film series "Saigon Rangers" (Biệt động Sài Gòn), and as Hà in "Near and Far" (Xa và gần). She was awarded the title of Distinguished Artist by the State. In 1970, when she was in grade eight, Hà Xuyên was invited by her sister to join the Thai Binh Dance Company and became a professional solo dancer, even though she wasn't then old enough to join the payroll and had to alter her birthdate to 1954 on paper. In 1981, she met director Huy Thành and a year later was cast for the lead role in his film "Xa và gần"; the role brought her the Best Actress Award at the 8th Vietnam Film Festival in Da Nang. She continued her success with the 1986 film series "Saigon Rangers". That same year she attended the Tasken-Moscow Film Festival with the crew of "Where the Dawn Birds Sang" (Nơi bình minh chim hót). A later successful feature film she starred in was 1989's "Girl on the River" (Cô gái trên sông). In 1997, when the City's Opera House was restored, Hà Xuyên transferred to work for the Center Art and Archives of Vietnamese Cinema, in the Film Distribution Department. In 2001 she starred in the TV series "Three Times and Once" (Ba lần và một lần). In that same year, she was awarded the title of Outstanding Artist by the State and represented Vietnam to attend the Golden Rooster Awards in China. In 2002, she achieved recognition for her role as Tư Lê's wife in of "Heaven's Net" (Lưới trời), a very difficult role because of its minimal screen time. She continues to appear in film series from 2000 onwards.
