Full Biography
"MeetYootha Wong-Loi-Sing, a radiant star whose natural beauty, evident in her gleaming white smile and brown skin, is complemented by her petite frame. Born in Rotterdam, Netherlands, this English and Dutch-speaking talent has captivated audiences on both sides of the linguistic divide. Initially pursuing sociology studies with plans to enter the music industry, Yootha's journey took a turn towards acting after landing her debut role as Angela in the TV seriesWho's In and Who's Out(2012).
Her film career began unconventionally yet memorably withHoeu duur was de suiker(2013), also known as "The Price of Sugar", where she portrayed Mini-Mini, a biracial enslaved person. While her dialogue may have been limited, Yootha's presence was anything but, as she spent much of the film running around a mansion in minimal attire - a skirt and wooden beads - with her breasts prominently displayed. The irony of her nickname, Mini-Mini, is not lost on viewers.
From cleaning alongside fellow topless actress Gaite Janse to holding a parasol for her character, Yootha's performances have been as varied as they've been memorable. She subsequently appeared inSneekweek(2016) and Alles voor elkaar(2017), before crossing the Atlantic to take on roles in American media such as OWN'sLove Is and CW'sBlack Lightning.
In Forever Rich(2021), a rap drama set in the Netherlands, Yootha returned to her homeland to star alongside local talents. As she continues to shine both onscreen and off, one thing is clear: if Yootha Wong-Loi-Sing chooses to follow this path, fame and fortune may well be hers."
