Biografia

People’s Artist Trần Hạnh (March 12, 1929 – March 4, 2021) was a Vietnamese actor. Best known to the audience for his portrayal of impoverished peasants stuck in ironic miseries, he was born in Hanoi to a worker at the Ngô Tử Hạ printing factory on Nhà Thờ Street, and to a mother who was a small-sized merchant. His dad passed away when he was 8, and to support his mother he worked as a shoemaker, during which time he also participated in drama classes at the City’s Youth Social Club; in here, he befriended many artists who would later become influential figures in Vietnamese cinema like Đoàn Dũng, Trọng Khôi,..

In the early 1950s, Trần Hạnh joined Hanoi Theatre.

The playwright Lưu Quang Vũ praised him as “the only person to be able to rightly portray Nguyễn Trãi”, and the General Secretary Trường Chinh complimented him in person for his performance in "Âm mưu và tình yêu”.
