Michelle Monique Reis (born Michele Monique Reis, 20 June 1970) is a Hong Kong former actress, model and beauty pageant titleholder of Macanese descent. In 1988, she won the Miss Chinese International Pageant and Miss Hong Kong beauty pageants. Afterwards, she became a prominent actress in 1990s Hong Kong, often appearing in introspective and independent fare rather than mainstream releases.
Reis often played dynamic characters, with a significant number of her roles centering around characters deemed more "difficult" to portray in Hong Kong cinema, such as prostitutes, femme fatales, and professional killers. Known for her youthful beauty and often deemed "one of the most beautiful women in Asia",[1] Reis has continued to remain in the public eye[2] long after her film career subsided in the early 2000s. Outside of the Chinese-speaking world, she is most famous for her role as the Hitman's Assistant in Fallen Angels (1995), which brought her critical acclaim internationally, as well as status as a cult film character[3] and saw her nominated for “Best Actress" at the 1996 Golden Bauhinia Awards.
