Ko Miu-sze

Biography

Ko Miu-sze was born in Macau in 1954, where she spent her early years and attended Yue Hwa Secondary School. She later moved to Hong Kong and completed her secondary education at Katszy English College in Tsim Sha Tsui, where she was a classmate of actor Lau Chi-wing. After graduating from secondary school in 1971, she traveled to Italy to study dramatic arts and briefly worked as a part-time kindergarten teacher at St. Timothy's Kindergarten in Hung Hom. In the same year, she enrolled in the first training course for TVB actors, but did not immediately sign a contract upon graduating in 1972 because she was reluctant to leave her students, continuing to teach at the kindergarten for two additional years. She officially joined TVB in 1974 and had already been performing with the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre during her studies. Over her career, she delivered notable television and film works, winning the award for Best Television Star in the Top Ten Television Stars poll in 1975. In the 1990s, she married Shaw Brothers actor Si Wai and emigrated to Italy, retiring from the entertainment industry but occasionally returning to Hong Kong to reunite with her training class alumni. She passed away at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong on August 5, 2024, at the age of 69.
