Phuong Dung is known as one of the veteran faces specializing in villain roles on the Vietnamese screen. The actress's life has gone through many difficulties, challenges and bumpy love affairs.

Phuong Dung, full name Le Thi Phuong Dung, was born in 1962 in a family with no artistic tradition in Ho Chi Minh City. She is the eldest of four siblings. Her father passed away when she was 12 years old, and her mother worked hard to take care of her five children. Since childhood, the actress had a difficult childhood, helping her mother ear.n mone.y to take care of the family.

Phuong Dung's relationship with art began in 1982 when she took the entrance exam to the Stage Arts School 2. At that time, students were given rice, meat and necessities every month. Phuong Dung thought that studying and earning a "salary" would ease her mother's financial burden, so she pursued the profession from then on.

After graduating, the actress was fortunate to be accepted by People's Artist Kim Cuong into her drama troupe. As soon as she joined the troupe, she met Meritorious Artist Thanh Tri and was introduced to villain roles in television dramas by him. In particular, the important role in "The Last Storm" helped Phuong Dung catch the attention of directors.

When her name was on the rise, because she fell in love with an artist in the troupe, the actress decided to quit her job to follow the call of love, despite the opposition of many people, including People's Artist Kim Cuong. Later, for unknown reasons, the love affair broke up and the two broke up.

Sharing in the program "Artist's Life", Phuong Dung confided that she no longer had the face to return to the old theater troupe that had introduced her to the profession, so she sold broken rice, rice rolls and took on tailoring at home to make a living. Despite struggling with life, deep inside she still missed her job very much. The actress often took out her makeup to "make up", looked at herself in the mirror and then rubbed it off as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Just when she thought she would never be able to return to the stage, one day, Mr. Chin - Head of the Bong Hong Drama Troupe accidentally visited Phuong Dung's rice cake stall. Feeling sorry for her situation, he burst into tears. After that meeting, Mr. Chin brought the actress back to the stage and provided her with everything she needed to continue her career.

When she returned to the arts, Phuong Dung accidentally got the role of Tao Thi in the movie "Pham Cong Cuc Hoa". The original actress who played the role had been cast and practiced for a long time, but suddenly had an emergency and could not participate. Thanks to actor - director Cong Hau, she got the role in a flash.

After that, Phuong Dung and Cong Hau rode their bicycles to the film set. With her excellent acting and fierce acting, the character of Tao Thi brought the actress great success after her comeback. However, the dislike from the character also caused her a lot of trouble.

Talking about villain roles, Phuong Dung shared that when she was studying at the University of Theater and Cinema, her teachers directed her to villain roles. The actress is a familiar face to Southern television and theater audiences through the fierce characters "tailored" thanks to her face that is very suitable for villain roles.

Up to now, Phuong Dung has been in the profession for more than 40 years. In addition to the silver medal in the National Professional Drama Festival in 2008 for her role in the play "Trai Nhay" of Saigon Drama Theater, she was also voted by the audience as the Most Favorite Comedian at the HTV Awards 2009. And has had hundreds of memorable roles.

Previously, Phuong Dung was considered the "queen of television" when she participated in 3-4 films at the same time. Currently, she still acts in 3-4 sitcoms and accepts commercials to make ends meet. The actress is devoted to her career, enjoys her free time with friends and family, and feels happy to be loved by the public.

Phuong Dung and a group of artists Phi Phung, Thuy Muoi, Diem Huong, and Nam Cha created the YouTube channel "Ngu Long Du Ky" for the community and artists, not for fame or profit. The group contributes to creating connections between artists, with the audience, and spreading compassion to other artists.

Although she has been successful in her acting career, Phuong Dung's love life has not been smooth. Her first marriage failed and she later married a man who also had a family and children. Being old and unable to have children, the actress adopted her younger sister's chil.d. Mother and daughter are very affectionate and loving to each other.

Phuong Dung confided: "Beauty and misfortune are real. I was once married, then it broke down and I tried to fix it, but now I live alone." At the ag.e of 63, the female artist does not wish for her own family, is satisfied with her current life, maintains a happy and optimistic spirit and finds joy in her work.

Sharing with the media, Phuong Dung said: "For many years, I have been used to being single. Now it is difficult to make me a woman of the family. Now, I am a woman of society. I do not feel like a housewife, waiting for my husband to come home to prepare dinner every afternoon. Sometimes I feel sad because of my illness, coming home late from work. But when I take a nap, wake up and continue working, I feel very healthy. If I had a husband and children, taking care of meals would certainly have its own difficulties."
