Florence Tan Siew Lee (born 30 June 1977) is a Malaysian actress and host who is based in Singapore and Hong Kong. She was a full-time Mediacorp artiste from 1997 to 2006, but she continues to film on an ad-hoc basis. In 2006, she left Mediacorp to expand her career in China and other parts of Asia.
Tan joined TCS (predecessor of MediaCorp) after winning the gender category in Star Search 1997. She made her debut in Immortal Love, acting alongside veterans like Chew Chor Meng, Pan Lingling and Xiang Yun. In 1998, she was cast in the popular "wuxia" drama series The Return of the Condor Heroes (Singaporean TV series) and went on to appear in several period dramas, including "The Legendary Swordsman" and The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber (2003 TV series) . Her final drama with Mediacorp was Zero to Hero in 2005.
In 2006, after getting married, Tan decided to leave the Singapore television industry and subsequently proceed to launch her career in China in 2011 after signing with Lafeng Entertainment. Her performance as a scheming concubine in the drama Mystery in the Palace (深宫諜影) received positive reviews. [1]
Tan later returned to Singapore and made a cameo appearance in the 2012 Mediacorp anniversary drama Joys of Life. In the drama, she played the role of the deceased wife of Zhao Dagou, portrayed by her former co-star Chew Chor Meng, in a flashback scene. [2]
In recent years, Tan is active in filming movies and dramas in China and in other parts of Asia. In 2019, she co-starred in a WeMovie alongside the semi-finalists of the Star Search 2019 competition. [3]
