Time named Michelle Yeoh its 2022 Icon of the Year on Tuesday, highlighting her storied 40-year acting career that includes this year’s “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
Yeoh is a favorite for an Oscar nomination for her performance in the well-received surreal action-drama. She had been named to Time’s 100 Most Influential People of 2022 list earlier this year.
In the late 1990s, Yeoh was ready to call it quits after getting married, planning to have children and after several injuries on set. Yeoh told Time that she reversed course after a conversation with director Quentin Tarantino, who visited her while promoting “Pulp Fiction.” He geeked out in front of Yeoh, reciting all her action sequences, she recalled.
It wasn’t until this last year that Hollywood began to recognize her as a top-billed actor, seen for her acting abilities beyond what white audiences expect of Asian performers. In “Everything Everywhere All at Once” she starred as Evelyn Quan Wang, the universe-jumping owner of a struggling laundromat.
Yeoh acknowledged to the Los Angeles Times that taking the role was also a risk because of the film and her character’s humor, a break from the mold of her previous roles that lacked such a dimension.“Give it to me,” she told Time, referring to an Oscar for lead actress. “It’s not about needing it — it’s that feeling that you don’t have to explain: It’s love from other people. My arms are out open.
