On her personal page, actress Ngoc Lan suddenly announced that the role of Anh Duong in the movie "Stolen Happiness" will be her last role on screen.

Ngoc Lan's announcement surprised and saddened many colleagues and audiences.

Ngoc Lan was born in 1985, and made her mark after starring in "The Beauty and the Tycoon", "Negative", "Gate of the Sun", "Paper Boat", "Sell Your Husband", "Mirror Mask"...

One of Ngoc Lan's successful roles is the character Huong Thao in "Paper Boat". Huong Thao is a gentle tailor in the countryside but her life is tragic and full of events.

She was betrayed by her husband, her son died of drowning, and her life was full of hardships. The scene where Huong Thao screamed and cried in pain when she lost her son was very touching.

The emotional transformation brought Ngoc Lan the award for Best TV Actress at the National Television Festival.

Not only does she play well roles with difficult and tragic fates, Ngoc Lan also leaves her mark when taking on villainous roles.

We can mention the scheming stepmother in "Mirror Mask"; the cruel and jealous Aunt Trang in "Heaven's Law", the paralyzed wife who constantly plots to harm her husband and lover in "Selling a Husband" or the formidable third party in "Bound by Love".

The actress even felt pressured because many viewers confused movies with real life, criticized her harshly, and said harsh words. In return, Ngoc Lan consoled herself that it proved her acting was effective, making the character come alive.

Ngoc Lan has excelled in her roles of fate, from a woman in a wheelchair to a miserable mother, to a "prostitute" girl with a dark past.

Talking about her colorful roles on screen, the beauty shared: "The difficulty is because I always want to make the following roles different from the previous roles with the same personality. So when I start receiving the script, start interacting with a character, I have to find a new direction so that the audience doesn't get bored."

Famous for her roles, she hosted programs about marriage and family life such as "You want to date", "Chat with a nursing mother", "Knock on the door to visit the house"...

Ngoc Lan married actor Thanh Binh in 2016 and has a son named Louis. In November 2019, the couple announced their divorce after 3 years of marriage, and Louis has since lived with his mother.

Talking about her broken marriage, Ngoc Lan once confided: "The story of divorce is not a matter of one day or one meal, but a long time. When both of them feel they cannot talk to each other about the marriage issue, they decide to divorce.

I had to think about whether it was right or wrong, what the consequences of this decision would be, how I would face my children and the public. In the end, both he and I felt that living apart was a better solution for our mental health."

At the age of 35, Ngoc Lan made a will because she had been sick and had to be hospitalized twice. The actress wanted to prepare a stable future for her son.
