Zoe Tay (born 10 January 1968) is a Singaporean actress, a former model, and was dubbed "Queen of Caldecott Hill" by local and fellow bloggers as a "senior actor" (senior actress) because of her ethnicity.
Early life
Tay is the sixth of seven children born to Teochew parents. She was three years old when her biological mother died in an accident. Her father remarried and had a daughter with Wong Pong Chin. When her stepmother was a housewife, her father worked at a pig farm in Lim Chu Kang. Tay was educated at Kay Hua Primary School and then Yuan Ching Secondary School, where she completed her O-level exams. At the Baharuddin Vocational Institute, she studied fashion design.
When she was 13, she considered using "Jenny" as her English name as people pronounced her hanyu pinyin surname Zheng as "Jenny." However, her siblings weren't interested in it. In a dictionary, she later discovered the word "Zoe" is the root.
Personal life
Tay is married to Philip Chionh, a former Republic of Singapore Air Force pilot. They were married in 1995 at the start of their careers and held their wedding reception in 2001 at a church wedding and a western-styled dinner at Ritz Carlton Hotel. They have three sons together: Brayden, Ashton, and Nathan.
Career
At the age of 16, Tay began as a model. In 1987, she was named Model of the Year. After Tay was crowned champion of the inaugural Star Search in 1988, she was given a three-year contract with the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (SBC), now known as MediaCorp. Although Tay disliked acting initially, she began feeling passionate about her craft after her appearance in 1991's Crime and Passion. Her breakthrough role in Pretty Faces as a materialistic young woman propelled her into fame. For ten years since its inception in 1994, her success has been recognized with the Top ten Most Popular Female Artiste Award at the Star Awards. Zoe earned the Best Actress award at the annual Star Awards in 1996 for her role in The Golden Pillow. In 2004, she became the first actress to be nominated for the coveted All-Time Favorite Artiste. Zoe was the first female artiste to publish "Zoe's Coffee Table," commissioned by MediaCorp.
Tay has also ventured into films, rather than television series. She appeared in Love Cuts in 2010, portraying a terminally ill woman with breast cancer. Aidan Gillen, an Irish actress, appeared in Mister John in her first fully English-speaking role in 2013.
In her various projects, Tay has collaborated with many artists.

In 2015, she collaborated with Huang Biren for the first time in The Dream Makers II.
A wax figurine was modelled after her by Madame Tussauds Singapore and has been on display in the museum since 2014.
Tayas won her second Best Actress at the Star Awards 2017 for You Can Be an Angel, 21 years after her first. In an interview, she confessed that after her first victory in 1996, she had considered quitting because she felt "strangely empty and lost." Rather, she enrolled in an acting class in New York, transforming her to "someone who is focusing on strengthening my acting skills and being exemplary to other actors." Three Chinese words that she loves include perseverance, or tenacity, or courage.
Tay received her fourth Best Actress award for the drama, My Guardian Angels, making her the first actress to receive two consecutive Best Actress awards in 2021.
