In its recent publication, Elle, released their picks for the 2022 Women in Hollwood which featured a Malaysian on the covers!
Becoming a part of the line up which features producers, directors and singers, Michelle Yeoh has done it again when she is highlighted as Hollywood’s more influential women in the industry.
“This time every year, we pay tribute to women in Hollywood with covers, stories, and portfolios dedicated to an entire firmament of stars.”
“But in this moment, that celebration feels a bit more charged.”
“In a year that’s been bruising for women as a whole, we’ve seen a welcome proliferation of female roles on and offscreen, from Michelle Yeoh’s powerful turn in Everything Everywhere All at Once to Issa Rae’s entrée into what she has called her “mogul era.””
“It’s a testament to the power of representation: These women reflect the strength and determination we all want to channel in our own lives.”
A total of eight women were selected for the feature — Olivia Wilde, Issa Rae, Anne Hathaway, Zoë Kravitz, Sydney Sweeney, Ariana DeBose and Sigourney Weaver.
Michelle Yeoh was credited for her success in films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), Memoirs of a Geisha (2005), Crazy Rich Asians (2018) and her latest smash hit Everything Everywhere All At Once.
In her interview with Elle, she said: “I have younger people come up to me and say, ‘You’ve changed my life. You made me realise that there are so many things that I can do’.”
