Michelle Yeoh terima penghormatan tertinggi AS

WASHINGTON: Pelakon Hollywood kelahiran Malaysia, Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh dianugerahkan pingat kebebasan presiden yang menjadi penghormatan tertinggi Amerika Syarikat Rumah Putih.

Pingat itu disampaikan Presiden AS, Joe Biden kepada aktres berusia 61 tahun itu bagi mengiktiraf sumbangan beliau dalam memperkaya budaya AS menerusi kemenangannya sebagai Pelakon Wanita Terbaik di anugerah Oscar, tahun lalu.“Peranannya melangkaui jantina, budaya dan bahasa. Daripada seni bela diri hingga komedi romantis, sains fiksyen semuanya menunjukkan persamaan yang kita semua miliki.

“Sebagai pelakon Asia pertama yang memenangi Oscar dan menggenggam trofi pelakon terbaik, dia bukan sahaja menghiburkan malah memberi inspirasi. Itulah yang terus dia lakukan. Tahniah,” kata Biden. Michelle merupakan antara 18 individu yang menerima pingat tersebut selain Nancy Pelosi, bekas Senator, Elizabeth Dole, bekas Naib Presiden Al Girem Setiausaha Negara John Keey dan Datuk bekas Bandar New York, Michael Bloomberg.

Terdahulu, pelakon kelahiran Ipoh, Perak itu mencipta sejarah apabila berjaya merangkul trofi Pelakon Wanita Terbaik Oscar menerusi lakonannya dalam filem Everything Everywhere All At Once.
