(For the full version of her bio, check Mya’s page on IMDb.)
Lien Mya Nguyen Oost was born in Houston, Texas. Her father was Vietnamese/French (originally from Long An Bình Chánh, Vietnam), and her mother is Vietnamese/Chinese (originally from Sóc Trăng, Vietnam). After beginning her modeling career at age 15, Mya landed a spokesmodel contract for the Japanese company Kao, for Sifone. Subsequently, she was second Miss Vietnam Han Noi Enchantuer 2000, Miss Congeniality and Miss Vietnam Ha Noi 2000, Miss Perfect Fit in 2000, and a silver medal in the Taekwondo Tournament in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Mya also won Miss Beaumont Texas International in 2005, and second runner-up for Miss Texas International in 2005. Looking back, while Mya was only five, in 1st grade, when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she had a different answer than most kids her age. While other kids would say “a nurse, a police officer,” etc., Mya said, “an actress.” While other kids asked, “What is an actress?” and the teachers were shocked, Mya never gave up on believing in herself and what she could accomplish. Today, with her determination and “out-of-this-world” talent, Mya is not only a successful actress, but also a model, a director, a producer, and a writer! And, with so much imagination, creativity, there’s surely more to come! Stay tuned! (Biography by Kelzan Nguyen from IMDb; edited by Chris Rennirt)
