Goal: Career overview of her acting.
Name: Trần Nữ Yên Khê (also Tran Nu Yen Khe, Nu Yên-Khê Tran, Tran Nu Yên-Khê).
Birth: 1968 (March 12 or March 18, depending on source; Sources [1] and [4] say March 18, 1968; Source [3] says March 12, 1968).
Nationality: French-Vietnamese / Vietnamese-born French.
Profession: Actress, sculptor, painter, visual artist, art director, costume designer.
Spouse: Director Tran Anh Hung.
Acting Credits/Collaborations:
Known for collaborations with Tran Anh Hung.
Leading lady in his films.
Films: Scent of the Green Papaya (1993), Cyclo, Vertical Ray of the Sun (2000), The Taste of Things (2023).
Note: She has appeared in all his films except Norwegian Wood, Eternity, and The Taste of Things (Source [2] says this, but Source [6] says she is known for The Taste of Things. I must be careful. Source [2] says she appeared in all except Norwegian Wood, Eternity, and The Taste of Things. Source [6] says she is known for The Taste of Things. I will stick to the specific films mentioned as her known works).
Role: Mùi in Mùi đu đủ xanh (Scent of the Green Papaya).
Other roles: Art director and costume designer (briefly).
Paragraph 1: Introduction and background.
Trần Nữ Yên Khê is a French-Vietnamese actress, sculptor, and painter. Born in 1968, she is the wife of director Tran Anh Hung. Her acting career is closely linked to her collaborations with her husband, serving as a leading lady in his films. She has also briefly served as an art director and costume designer.
Paragraph 2: Filmography and specific roles.
She is known for her work in several films, including Scent of the Green Papaya, Cyclo, and Vertical Ray of the Sun. In the 1993 film Scent of the Green Papaya, she played the role of Mùi. While she has appeared in many of Tran Anh Hung's films, she did not appear in Norwegian Wood, Eternity, or The Taste of Things. She is also recognized for her work in The Taste of Things.
Wait, checking Source [2] vs [6] regarding "The Taste of Things".
Source [2] (Wikipedia) says: "She has appeared in all his films, with the exception of Norwegian Wood, Eternity and The Taste of Things."
Source [6] (IMDb) says: "known for The Taste of Things (2023), The Scent of Green Papaya (1993) and The Vertical Ray of the Sun (2000)."
This is a contradiction in the sources. As an archivist, I should report what is stated. If I mention she is known for it, I am following Source [6]. If I say she didn't appear in it, I am following Source [2]. I will phrase it carefully or stick to the most explicit "known for" list. Actually, I'll just list the films she is known for according to the sources.
Drafting again to hit word count (180-260 words).
