Amy Yip Chi-mei[1] (born 10 July 1966), commonly known as Amy Yip, is a Hong Kong former actress, model and entrepreneur. Known for her small frame and voluptuous figure,[2] she was one of the leading sex symbols of Hong Kong cinema in the late 1980s and early 1990s.[3] Yip began her entertainment career as a trainee with the Hong Kong broadcaster Asia Television (ATV), taking on minor television roles after signing a two-year contract in 1985. During her tenure at ATV, she was approached by Raymond Chow, founder of the film production company Golden Harvest, who offered her a position once her contract ended. She had small roles in films such as Jackie Chan's Miracles and The Inspector Wears Skirts 2 (both 1989), until she got her break in the Category III film Erotic Ghost Story (1990).
By 1994, she had starred in more than twenty films, most notably The Magnificent Scoundrels, Great Pretenders, Robotrix, To Be Number One, and Sex and Zen (all 1991). She retired from acting in 1997.[4] She has garnered a cult following for the numerous films that she starred in.[5] As an entrepreneur, she is the owner of The Leith Penang, a boutique hotel in Penang, Malaysia.[4] She is also the non-executive director and brand ambassador of Artiste Hotel Management in Malaysia.[6][7]
