Tuệ Minh

People’s Artist Bùi Trần Tuệ Minh (24th February 1938 - 24th February 2018) was a Vietnamese actress, radio presenter, screenwriter and director. Renowned for her sweet looks and a distinctively refined Hanoian accent, she started working for Vietnam Feature Film Studio in 1962 and almost exclusively starred in supporting roles, often portraying tormented and neurotic characters driven to tragic ends. One of her few lead roles was as Hương in “Truyện vợ chồng anh Lực”(1972) which earned her a Best Actress award at 1973 Vietnam Film Festival. On stage, she enjoyed greater acclaim and a wider variety of roles; she was best known for her role as Phượng in Nguyễn Khải’s play “Cách mạng”.
