Best Actress Huang Biren Only Recovered From “Really Bad” COVID 2 Days Before SA2022; Didn’t Think She Was Going To Make It To The Show

And now she has tied with Zoe Tay for most wins (4!) in the Best Actress category.

Best Actress Huang Biren Only Recovered From “Really Bad” COVID 2 Days Before SA2022; Didn’t Think She Was Going To Make It To The Show

The first thing Huang Biren does when we speak to her backstage after her Best Actress win at the Star Awards is to peel off her high heels. “I need to sit down, my feet are cramping so bad,” she says to 8days.sg. “But I also need to cover my feet in case someone takes a photo”.

To think just a few moments ago, the 53-year-old was on stage raising her Best Actress trophy — the fourth of her 34-year career, tying with Zoe Tay for most wins in the category — triumphantly in the air like Lady Liberty.

It’s easy to assume that Biren, who took home the prize for her role as no-nonsense matriarch in Recipe Of Life, is used to winning on the Star Awards stage. However, her last Best Actress trophy came in 2005 — 17 years ago.

And she almost didn’t make it to the show this year.
