Lau Mei Shan (English name Sandy; born 10 July 1973) is a former Hong Kong actress and ex-TVB artiste.
Background
In 1992, Lau enrolled in the Artiste Advanced Class and Performance Workshop at New Town Entertainment Academy (second-year university level), graduating in 1994. After auditioning for TVB’s Artiste Department, she signed a standard contract and began her career in minor and character parts, often playing villainous roles such as developmentally disabled girls, drug users, street girls, or ditzy characters.[1][2]
She became known for her roles as Gam Miu Ling in The Criminal Investigator series, Chan Yau Yu in Father-in-Law? No Fear!, and Liang Yan Dong in The Tang Dynasty’s Consort Yang. Her performance alongside Felix Chong as siblings in Father-in-Law? No Fear! drew particular attention.
In 2000, facing a continuation of minor roles with reduced screen time and pay, she chose to leave TVB after six years and ended her contract.〔citation needed〕 Reports suggest she relocated to Shanghai and entered business by founding a public relations company.
In November 2022, Lau appeared in episode 2 of Middle‑Aged Singers, performing Sally Yip’s hit "Lucky Me" and reached the Top 100.
Trivia
Some netizens have commented that Lau bears a strong resemblance to fellow actress Lo Yuen Yin.
