Josie Ho

Josephine "Josie" Ho Chiu-yi, born 26 December 1974, is a singer and actress from Hong Kong. She is the daughter of Macao casino magnate Stanley Ho. --- Ho is the daughter of businessman Stanley Ho and wife of musician and actor Conroy Chan Chi-chung. She credits elder sister Patsy with supporting her early efforts to establish a singing career over the objections of their father. She has played many roles, including a few as prostitutes, which contrasted strongly with 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." She did not find this method of improvisational acting difficult. Ho stars alongside Anthony Wong Chau Sang and Eason Chan in the Ho-Cheung Pang directed slasher film Dream Home.
