Ruby Lin
Ruby Lin (林心如, pinyin: Lín Xīnrú; born 27 January 1976) is an actress from Taiwan. She rose to fame after performing on the highly successful Chinese miniseries Princess Pearl (还珠格格).
Born in Taipei, Ruby Lin embarked on her filming career at an early age of seventeen as a part-time advertisement model. Upon high school graduation, having a deep interest in this field, she officially contracted with Jessie and Jones Entertainment Ltd. on her twentieth birthday.
In 1997, Ruby surged to the top as an emanating star through her beloved "Princess Ziwei" role in the TV series Princess Pearl I and II, appealing to mass audiences throughout China, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. Consequently, after starring in another Chinese blockbuster series Romance in the Rain, Ruby Lin was voted as the Top Ten Most Famous Asian Superstars for two consecutive years (2000 & 2001).
Her daring performance in the 2002 production Half Life Fate (adapted from Zhang Ailing’s novel Eighteen Springs) escalated Ruby Lin's fame and earned her much accolade for capturing her screen character Man Zhen’s 14 years of an arduous life.
Ruby’s recent productions, such as Amor de Tarapaca, co-starring Korean actor Han Jae Suk, began a popular trend of successful China-Korea collaborations. Recently, she has been involved in another original Korean screenplay, Magic Touch of Fate, co-starring Taiwanese actor Alec Su and Korean top idol KangTa. This series is the highest budgeted miniseries ever made in Asian modern television industry to date.
