In that same year Pham appeared on a popular Vietnamese diaspora music variety show ( Trung Tam Asia) where she was honored for her work. In reality Pham speaks French, English and Vietnamese fluently. In the film her friend claims that she can speak Chinese, Vietnamese and a little English. Her lines are spoken in Vietnamese with a Northern accent, and though many people believe she plays a Chinese character because she is introduced by a Chinese musician friend who knows her from Beijing, in fact she plays a Vietnamese who studied music at the conservatoire in Beijing. In 2005, Pham made a return to acting with her role in the BAFTA and César winning French film The Beat That My Heart Skipped, opposite Romain Duris for which she was nominated again for the most promising actress César award (and won). She began her return to film when she trained in acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York. In 2000, she married Andrew Huntley, a British investment banker whom she had met while they were both living in Ho Chi Minh City. She studied commerce and worked as a senior marketing manager in Vietnam after graduation. Pham received a César nomination for most promising actress for that performance.ĭespite appearing in a few other productions afterwards, Pham eventually decided to take a decade off from acting, focusing instead on her studies. She is known most for her role as an orphan of the Nguyen Dynasty adopted by a French plantation owner in the 1992 Oscar-winning French epic Indochine, starring alongside Catherine Deneuve. She has also lived in New York, The Hague, Singapore and Vietnam, and now resides in London.
She was born in Saigon, South Vietnam, but moved with her family to Paris, France, a year later, just before the capture of Saigon by North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces.
