'Calendar Queen' Hien Mai: Ageless beauty, fulfilled with her rich husband

Bich Phuong• July 22, 2023 08:17

At the age of 50, Hien Mai still maintains her youthfulness and love of life. Overcoming many ups and downs, the beauty now has a happy home with her husband and son.

Actress Hien Mai was born in 1967, originally from Hanoi. She became known to audiences through her role as teacher Mai in the 1995 film "Tuoi Than Tien".

Possessing a charming beauty and characteristic long straight hair, Hien Mai was one of the "calendar queens" of the 90s. At that time, her image appeared all over wall calendars, scrapbook covers...

At the peak of her career, Hien Mai had a serious traffic accident while filming in Can Gio in 1998. The beauty suffered facial injuries, a broken 5th cervical vertebra and a broken 12th thoracic vertebra.

As one of the "five great beauties" of the 90s (along with Diem My, Diem Huong, Kim Phung, Viet Trinh), this incident greatly affected Hien Mai's spirit. She was hospitalized for a long time for treatment and had to cancel many performance contracts.

After 90 days of facing "life and death", Hien Mai miraculously recovered, her face left no scars. She also quickly regained the ability to walk, and her bones healed in a rare way. In an interview in 2018, Hien Mai shared: "Overcoming the accident and still being alive, still maintaining my beauty and being able to work is truly a miracle and a great blessing."

That incident also changed Hien Mai's thinking and outlook on life. She was touched by the thoughtful care of businessman Nguyen Hoang Minh (a Vietnamese American) during her time of need. While in the hospital, her face was not completely intact but she was still taken care of attentively by her "other half".

In early 2003, Hien Mai married businessman Hoang Minh. She gave birth to a son in 2004 and built a happy home with her husband. When they first got married, Hien Mai and her husband encountered many difficulties because one was in the US and the other was in Vietnam. The actress of "Tuoi Than Tien" refused to settle in the US, forcing her husband to give up his growing career and return to Vietnam to live with his wife.

During her many years of marriage, Hien Mai has been labeled as a "rich man's wife" many times. She has spoken out to affirm that she has her own career, is financially stable, and does not depend on her husband.

In the program "Marriage Detective" in 2022, Hien Mai revealed that her married life also had many ups and downs. "We argued, missed each other when we were apart but argued when we were close. My husband was decent, kind, loyal, only went to work and came home to take care of his wife and children. But there was one thing I really hated about him: he was always frowning and nagging. No matter what, he frowned," she shared in the program.

Hien Mai and her husband once wanted to break up. However, because they felt they still had a predestined relationship and put their family and children first, they put aside their conflicts, sat down to talk and overcame everything together. "I restrained my playful nature so that I could fulfill my duties as a mother and a wife," Hien Mai confided.

In the following years, Hien Mai rarely participated in artistic activities. Partly because she was busy taking care of her family, partly because she had not yet chosen a satisfactory role. The actress lives in a luxurious European-style riverside villa in Thu Duc City. At the age of 50, she enjoys a prosperous and peaceful life with her husband and son.

In 2022, Hien Mai temporarily put aside her work in Vietnam and went to the US to take care of her son Tony while he was studying abroad. This was the first time the female artist was away from her husband and had to do many things on her own. When Hien Mai went to the US, her businessman husband called her every day to talk so she wouldn't feel lost.

Sharing about this period, Hien Mai said: "When I was in the country, my time revolved around art, entertainment and community activities. My husband and the maid took care of cooking and taking the children to school. My partner arranged and decided on big and small things in the house. Now, I do everything by myself, from cooking, taking driving lessons to finding a house."

Recently, Hien Mai returned to Vietnam to visit her family and relatives. She also occasionally appeared at some events of her friends in the entertainment industry.

On her personal page, her daily photos often receive many compliments from the audience.

At the age of 56, Hien Mai still favors outstanding hair colors and a bright dressing style, and is praised for "looking forever young".

Talking about the secret to maintaining youthful beauty, Hien Mai once said that she always focuses on optimism and love of life. "If you always feel young, you will naturally look younger," the actress said. (Photo: Document, character's Facebook).
