AsiaOne
Meet celebrity pole dancer, Marsha Yuan
By Maryann Soh
She's an actress and a model and the daughter of veteran Chinese actress, Zheng Pei Pei.
But perhaps, you might remember the charming sweetheart from the Miss Hong Kong pageant in 1999, where she emerged top three alongside peers and famous Hong Kong actresses such as Sonija Kwok and Myolie Wu.
AsiaOne met with Marsha Yuan in Hong Kong recently, where we found her with her latest interest - pole dancing.
The multi-talented celebrity, who was the winner for the International Pole Dance Championship in Manila in 2008 (Pole Art category), has been pole dancing for about two years now. While she is still very much involved in singing and acting, she also teaches pole dancing at Pure Fitness in Hong Kong.
In an exclusive interview, Marsha tells us how she got her hands on pole dancing, and shares her views on the sport, often associated with sleaze.
The star, who was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, also talks about her relationship with her mother, Zheng Pei Pei, also known as the Queen of Swords for her performance in the 1966 King Hu wuxia film.
On the topic of relationships, Marsha also reveals a little bit about her love life.
