Josie Ho

Template:Short description Template:Family name hatnote Template:Infobox person Josephine "Josie" Ho Chiu-yi (Template:Zh; born 26 December 1974) is a singer and actress from Hong Kong. She is the daughter of the Macao casino magnate Stanley Ho.

Acting career

She has played many roles, including portraying the parts of prostitutes, which were in strong contrast to her own wealthy upbringing as a billionaire's daughter. For the film Exiled, Ho did not work with a script. Recalling the experience in a recent interview, she said of director Johnnie To, "[He] basically tells actors what to do ... Johnnie wants us to come to the set with our mind completely clean, like a white piece of paper. That way, he can draw whatever he wishes on us."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Ho starred alongside Eason Chan in the Pang Ho-cheung directed slasher film, Dream Home.<ref>Korean Trailer for "Dream Home' Punishes the Audience, bloody-disgusting.com; accessed 17 September 2015.</ref>

In 2009, Ho along with husband Conroy Chan, and Andrew Ooi, co-founded 852 Films, a film production company.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Personal life

Ho is the youngest daughter of businessman Stanley Ho and Ho's second wife Lucina Lam. She has 3 older sisters and 1 younger brother, Pansy, Daisy, Maisy and Lawrence, as well as numbers of half-brothers and half-sisters.

In November 2003, Ho married musician-actor Conroy Chan Chi-chung in Australia.

She credits her oldest sister Pansy with supporting her early efforts to establish a singing career over the objections of their father.<ref>Template:Citation</ref>
