Before becoming famous as the muse of director - People's Artist Hong Sen, artist Thuy An was born in the Southwest region and went to Saigon to make a living selling sugarcane juice. This girl who had never received any training in cinema never expected that she would become one of the leading actors of Vietnam's revolutionary cinema.
Luckily, at the age of 17, Thuy An was discovered by director and People's Artist Hong Sen and given the female lead role in the movie "The Wild Field". Right from this first role, fame came to the girl from the West. In "The Wild Field", the actress played the role of Sau Xoa - the wife of Ba Do (People's Artist Lam Toi). Although still very young, Thuy An completely transformed into the image of a hard-working wife, mother, and steadfast guerrilla, holding a child in one hand and a gun in the other.
