Fala Chen Graduates from Juilliard!
Fala Chen (陳法拉), who temporarily bid everyone farewell from the entertainment industry in 2014, has officially graduated with her Master’s Degree from The Juilliard School! Upon the end of her TVB management contract in late 2014, the Lives of Omission <潛行狙擊> actress left Hong Kong for New York to pursue her Master of Fine Arts in Drama (MFA) at The Juilliard School. The competitive program accepts only about 10 students a year, and is a four-year-long curriculum.
On May 18, Fala shared on social media that she has graduated from the program. She shared a picture she took with her eight other classmates, writing, “We MFA’s!” Fala also shared pictures she took around the campus, including one that is of her walking on stage to retrieve her diploma.
Fala wrote on Instagram, “I don’t know how 4 years has flown by so quickly, but here I am, graduating from [The Juilliard School] with my #group47 classmates! I could not have done this alone. Thank you to my family and friends who have encouraged me, to my teachers who have given me knowledge and inspiration to be a better artist, to my team and clients back in Hong Kong & China supporting me from afar. And to ALL OF YOU who have been following my journey. I am a very lucky person to have all of you in my life.”
Congratulations to Fala on opening a new chapter in your life!

Congrats to Fala! Looks like she is headed to Hollywood next, as it is reported that she signed with management company UTA, which is the same company that manages Oscar winner Frances McDormand. With an MFA, pretty sure Fala will get plenty of great opportunities…hope she doesn’t waste those opportunities by returning to TVB — she can and most definitely SHOULD do better!
@llwy12 Agree!. IT would be a waste of time for Fala Chen to waste her time, talent, degree and energy by going back to TVB. I would be disappointed in her. Fala is a decent actress and with the ability to speak understandable english, the sky is the limit, and Hollywood should be her next stop. Proud of her for getting her degree. In fact, I am proud of anyone who study and gain a degree. Right @hetieshou?
Good to have another skill she can use in case she decides to retire from acting. Talented lady.
