Action star Jade Leung Jang went from being a Miss Asia Pageant 1990 contestant to a movie action heroine after her breakout role in Black Cat (1991). As a teenager, she spent four years in Switzerland, where she studied fashion design and learned French.

In 1990, she returned to Hong Kong and worked as a model. She was selected for the leading role in Black Cat despite her lack of acting experience, and underwent three months' training in kung fu and weight lifting. She performed many dangerous stunts and was dubbed Hong Kong's Nikita. Apart from her film career, Leung has also appeared in TV dramas since joining TVB in 1998.
