Have you heard about her before?

Kathy used to be in many TVB series during 80s-90s
For example,
- Yang family
- The sword of conquest (co-star: Eddie Kwan)
- Time Before Time (co-star gordon lam)
- Plain love (co-star: gallen lo, eddie cheung)
- Cherished Moments (co star: Leon Lai)
- The Feud of the Two Brothers (co-star : Alex man, etc.)
- Flame of Fury
- The Price of Growing Up (co-star : Alex man)
- secret of the heart
etc.

She is so compatible with Leon Lai. I think they have best on-screen chemistry.

She's also in the HSDS1994 (Taiwanese version)

I think Cathy or Kathy Chow is Chow Hoi Mei. Does anyone know what she is doing in terms of movies etc.?

erh..not really..cz she seldom act nowadays..do anyone of you know what she has been doing now?cz i miss her acting...i like plain love...where she acts with gallen lo..and i hope someone will post many of her photos here..she is so pretty..oh yah..i heard ppl claiming that her eyes have reached minus 1000 ..and she's wearing contact lens....that she cannot see really well without the spes...and that is also the reason why her eyes are abit not proportional..is that true?

yeah i heard the same thing about her eyes, but it could be rumors tho. but if someone out there thats sure of it.. post plz..

i did a internet search and i'm pretty sure Cathy Chow is Chow Hoi Mei

sorry i am a noob and i dont know how to post pictures.

hey guys....
cathy chow = chow hoi mei

i really like her...especially her acts in Breaking Point...with Leon Lai

really? I never knew it was Niki Cho's older sister. I guess if you think about it they do look like siblings...
I like Cathy, she's such a good actress and so beautiful. I wonder what she is doing now? I hardly ever see her around... when I do hear about her she just does modeling I think.

Yep Cathy Chow - Is Chow Hoi Mei she use to be a TVB actress!!!! She starred in many of TVB 's top series back in the late 80's and early 90's -

Rain In The Heart with Kwok Chun On
Breaking Point with Leon Lai
Looking Back In Anger with Felix Wong

Does she still act in series? I don't see any of her series lately....

I don't think so. I heard that she concentrates on the model or advertisement job, stuff like that. She filmed some series with ATV ages ago.

Is she a writer too? What kind of books does she write?

Is there 2 Cathy Chow??

I only know one:
-She is Cathy Chow MAN KEI
-She is Niki Chow Lai Kei's older sister.
-She is a professional model in HK
-She is a writer too, I wacthed t´TVB's programm, HK this minute, and they interviewed Cathy Chow MAN KEI, and they spoke about her writing career, I heard something that she has already one book and it's about weddings.

yes, i think there are two Cathy Chow in the industry.
1 is the one u knoe, nikki's sister, kathy chow man kei, alex to's ex-gf
and another one is cathy chow hoi mei.. haven seen her in series for awhile..

O_O Now I understand and remember. This thread is for Cathy Chow's, I forget that Niki's sister Chow Man Kei's english name is Kathy, no Cathy.
Sorry that I wrote something stupid to this thread.

I think her name is Kathy Chau. I heard that she's in China right now taping an ancient series. Her latest series were "Asian Heros" with Michael Tao, Felix Wong, "The Legacy Of Pride" with Kai Wa Ng, and "Share Life And Death" with Li Ya Peng (yesasia.com). She acted in a lot of movies like Beast Cops, The Love & Sex of The Eastern Hollywood, Vampire Controller, Memento, A Decisive Move, ...

i looked her up n they only had chow hoi mei n not chow mun kei so they r two dif. ppl

Wow...
She's not very popular now. I think she still look good for her ag e....

I thought it was suppose to be Kathy Chow and not Cathy Chow, but either way I loved her series back then. Leon Lai played a couple with Kathy Chow in a couple of series. My favorite was Breaking Point.

yeah her name is kathy chau not cathy chow!!! ppl always seem to get her mixed up with nikki's sister even tho the names are spelt totally differently.

she was so good in time before time with gordon lam. she always had that sad and dead look. she was a really good actress. why isn't she still acting? she was good and her sister is not bad either. they should do a show together or something.

Where has she gone? Married with kids?

Please stop confusing yourselves with Chow Man Kei and Chow Hoi Mei. The pictures that were posted were all Chow Man Kei's but this thread is supposed to be Chow Hoi Mei's.
I also noticed that Niki Chow looks more like Chow Hoi Mei rather than her real sister Chow Man Kei.

I love the 'breaking point'... Leon & Kathys on screen chemistry was FANTASTIC! it's a really old series..but it's sooooooooooo good!!

Kathy was my first ever idol~ I've watched nearly all her series~ ^__^ fan for life~

My favourite actress is Kathy Chow Hoi Mei 周 海 媚

Niki Chow's older sister Cathy Chow 周汶錡 and Kathy Chow Hoi Mei 周 海 媚 they two differents person.

I'm so sorry I made you confusing of it.. I didn't know it got an another Cathy Chow in HK
^(o-_-o)^

yeah! it´s been a long time since I heard anything about her. The last time I saw her was in a Taiwanese tv-series. Is she still continuing her show biz career in Taiwan?

I have to agree. Leon Lai and her look good together

I do not cry in many movies at all. One of those moments would have to be when Cathy died in "Secret of the Heart." I lost interest in that series after she died. Wish she would have lived >.<.

I love Chow Hoi Mei, she's so pretty, such a shame she's not doing any series/movies anymore :/

Those pictures posted up by KLCB don't even look like her! She looks so diff compared to her Secret of the Heart days but she still looks great for her age

do u mean that she is not acting in hk drama anymore? really curious what is she doing now

I haven't heard any news about Cathy in a while. I just watched Secret of the Heart and she was pretty good in it. It's too bad what happened to her character.

Here is the latest episodes "Ao Gu Xiong Xin 傲骨雄心"
Cast: Lawrence Ng, Kathy Chow, Chow Kwan Ling, Li Jie, Yang Min-Na
dual (canto/mandarin)

With Felix Wong in one of the Taiwan series

huh im confused. from the pix above is kathy chow but r u saying tat this ladi is also kathy chow? because im really confused. they dont look a bit similar if its d same person.

The girl with Felix is the real Kathy Chow that is discussed in this forum (at least i think it is). The other pictures are pics of another Kathy Chow that is Niki's sister.
So much confusion has occured just because there are 2 people of the same name....must we type the full name everytime...

Can you believe Chow Hoi-Mei is 38 years old this year (2005)? Like fine wine, she certainly got a lot better with age.

In 1988's TVB Series "Looking Back In Anger", she was so 80's with those shoulder pads. 22 years old at the time, it was definitely a very new and green Chow Hoi-Mei.

In 1998's "Cheap Killers", she was thinner, sexier, and looked nothing like her 32 years. Her portrayal of a trashy, wanton lover is one of the most copied and cliched "token" characters ever.

While she certainly has fallen out of favor in recent years, she certainly acted with the best. Her performance in "Looking Back in Anger" was up to par with co-stars Carina Lau, Felix Wong, and Deric Wan. I think its a tragedy that she isn't more in the public eye as an actress.

I would love to see Chow Hoi-Mei another series with the all-time greats: Carina Lau, Felix Wong, Michael Miu, Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, and other A-listers of the time.

Thanks.

I think Kathy Chow acted for ATV for a while after she left TVB. Then she went to China & Twaian for a while. But she is still an actress. I think she has two new series with ATV. One of them is "Asian Heroes" & the other one is ????<--not too sure what's it's called. But both of those two series were 2000 and beyond.

http://www.hongkongbeauties.com/mhk85.htm
“#20 Kathy Chow Hoi-mei became a very popular TV and film actress and is still very active these days. Why she failed to even make the top 15 is still a mystery, because she was a hot pick of many. She was ill and bed-ridden for some time during her junior high school years, and while she recovered subsequently, her academic results were still affected when she was about to graduate and she felt very frustrated. Her father encouraged her to enter the pageant to have some fun, and she did it without caring much. During the preliminary interviews, she was very true to herself when some TVB people asked whether she liked watching EYT (= ‘Enjoy Yourself Tonight’, a very popular variety show in Hong Kong), and she replied ‘no’. They asked why and she said, ‘I simply have no interest in it’!”

About Kathy's new series

Havent seen Kathy around for a long time! She's used to be my one time favourite actress. Hope to see more of ther series soon.

I think she is more prettier then Nikki she has a more mature look and very sexy too. I think she is very cute

oh so this is not Nikki sister this is the other gal oic

Kathy is filming another new series in China

Pix from zhouyimedia.com

true dat, chow hoi mei with leon lai in breaking point, best movie, so suspensful.

But her voice is kinda low, doesn't sound fluent cantonese, i heard from someone that she was mandarin that that was her main language.

HMMM I've only seen her in secret of the heart and nothing else, look forward to seeing more of her acting.

shes looking real good at age 40...

well yea i just wanted to know how she is and stuff. i mean, after watching time before time, (i've seen it 1999 before i came to america) and its so good i watchedd it again and i wonder..where is kathy chow? what happened to her? she lost fame? and niki chow is her sister? man im confused, someone said shes' dead =.=" can't be serious, .. i just thought she's pretty .. i can't even find alot of pictures of her on google. =.= dam,

the Kathy Chow (or maybe her name is Cathy Chow instead) your referring to is Chow Hoi Mei not Chow Man Kei (Niki's sister), one's an actress & the other one is a model

yea, she kinda fade away ever since the last TVB series I saw of hers

I think she is currently filming in China. She is a very old actress from an older generation. Have you seen "The Breaking Point" (TVB 1990), she is the main female lead in that series. She used to be in a lot of tvb series in the 90s. Hope that helps.
