Joan Chen was born in Shanghai in 1961. When she was 14, some people from a film studio (制片廠) came to her school and chose her to study at the studio.

At age 18, she won the Golden Rooster, China's top film prize.

In the late 1970s, Joan's parents, who were doctors, moved to the United States. Joan joined them when she was 20 and went to college there. Her parents hoped she would study medicine. Instead, she majored in film and later looked for work as an actress. To work in the United States, Joan had to start all over again. She told Hollywood that she was an actress in China, but she only got some small parts in TV shows.

A year later, she started in Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Last Emperor and was on her way to worldwide fame.
