Maggie Cheung Ho-yee tential artist" (最具演藝潛質獎) and was signed to the
channel soon afterwards.
Her career spun off to a whirlwind of a start, as she
was offered a leading role. However, she wanted to start
from the bottom up and hence declined the role, only to
accept a subsidiary role in another series. Many will say
that her career kicked off with the well accepted Old Time
Buddy, but some others say it is with her primary leading
role in One Good Turn Deserves Another.
The popularity of artists in the Hong Kong television
market depends as much on the popularity of the char-
acters in a series as to the ability of the actors and it was
not until 1998 that she achieved mainstream popularity
with the series "Old Time Buddies", in which she played
a character based on 60s teen idol Connie Chan Po-chu.
The character was well received because of Maggie’s ex-
cellent portrayal of Connie Chan. The immense success
lead to sequel, To Catch A Thief, a movie, Those Were The
Days, and even a platinum selling CD.
She has co-starred with numerous male actors, such

chemistry with Gallen Lo lead to several other pairings in
