Kelly Hu Biography part 2
Entering high school, Kelly Hu discovered the Drama program at Kamehameha High School. Kelly Hu was so passionate about the class she signed up for it every semester for four years. The summer after her sophomore year she got the opportunity to travel with the Drama Club to the International Thespian Conference in Muncie, Indiana.


On this same trip, Kelly Hu experienced her first Broadway play in New York and visited Universal Studios in Los Angeles, reinforcing her desires to become an actress.

While still in school, Kelly was scouted by a modeling agent at a shopping mall who happened to represent Kelly's cousin, a very successful model in Japan at the time. Capitalizing on the Japanese intrigue with American beauty pageants at the time, her agent suggested that Kelly Hu take a class in modeling and try to win a pageant title to help better promote her in Japan. Fueled by the thought of making some quick money over the summer and the chance to travel, she took the agents advice.


While enrolled in a photo posing class, Kelly Hu heard about a local beauty pageant called Miss Hawaii Teen USA. She entered the pageant with the hopes of winning the local title and taking off to Japan that summer to a contract that was already signed and waiting for her.


After graduation, Kelly Hu decided to pursue her career in acting and modeling full time. She traveled to Japan where she worked as a model, getting cast in numerous commercials and was able to put her high school Japanese language studies to use. Then, in the summer of 1987, Kelly Hu got her first paying acting job. She landed the guest-starring role opposite teen heartthrob Kirk Cameron in the season premiere of the hit show...

"Growing Pains"

It was the break she'd been preparing herself for.

Kelly Hu was born on February 13th, 1968, a girl of Chinese, English, and Hawaiian ancestry was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to Herbert and Juanita Hu. Sixteen years later this girl was standing before a live international television audience of more than 50 million people in Miami, Florida. Her mother had warned her before the pageant,

"Now don't get too hurt when you don't win because America's not ready for an Asian Miss Teen USA."

Mother's aren't always right, America was ready for Kelly Hu.


From the age of two, Kelly Hu had already begun showing signs of her performing aspirations. Kelly Hu's mother recalls the toddler planting herself on her neighbor's front porch singing at the top of her lungs, making up songs about going to the market and other daily events.


At Kelly Hu's first official performance, Kelly played an angel at her pre-school's Christmas pageant. Overhearing her teacher express concerns about not having strong singers for the pageant that year, Kelly Hu took it upon herself to make up for the lack of voices by belting out "Silent Night" while her 8-year-old brother, Glenn, melted into his chair in embarrassment.



Acknowledging her daughter's insatiable appetite for the spotlight, Kelly's mother enrolled her in dance school on Saturdays where she learned ballet, tap and acrobatics at the age of five. Her brother enrolled in kung fu at the same time. After class, he would meet up with his rambunctious little sister at home and teach her the day's lessons. Quite the industrious one, Glenn began setting up fights between his fearless sister Kelly and the little boys in the neighborhood -- playing manager and taking bets on his tomboy sister.
