Pan Ling Ling joined the former SBC in 1988 after graduating from its 8th Drama Artiste Training Course. With her entry into the circle, she has since brought forth a trend of oriental-beauty incandescence onto our screens, radiating from within, her own brand of charm and elegance.
In 1991, Ling Ling played the female lead in the 130 -episode series Women of Substance, MediaCorp TV's first ever location filming in China. Her portrayal as an immigrant who perseveres despite extreme hardship won her rave reviews. In 1992, Ling Ling created local news when she became the first MediaCorp artiste to star in a regional movie. She played the supporting role of a psychoanalyst opposite international superstar Jackie Chan in Crime Story.
Besides acting, Ling Ling is also a competent host and was one of the wacky comperes in MediaCorp's best-loved variety show, City Beat. In addition to that, Ling Ling was also responsible for feeding the audience their weekly capsules of entertainment news in Entertainment Beat.
In 2008, Ling Ling was cast in The Little Nyonya, a storyline with a Peranakan setting that spans over 70 years starting in the 1930s. This serial recorded the highest rating in local TV history for the past 15 years since 1994. The following year, she was involved in yet another long-running TV serial Your Hand In Mine, a 180-ep family drama which acquired a loyal following since it debuted on TV.
After 2 decades, Ling Ling's hard work and perseverance finally paid off when she bagged her first acting award at Star Awards 2011 for her performance as a kept woman in the year-end blockbuster Breakout.
Ling Ling is happily married to fellow actor Huang Shi Nan and is also a proud mother of two. Ling Ling has not only become a more radiant mother, she's also grown fonder in our hearts too.
