Margie's Biography

曾華倩於1965年8月6日出生於香港的一個小康之家﹐上有兩個哥哥和一個姐姐。父親是個醫生﹐母親則是家庭主婦。中學畢業後於1982年投考無線第十二期藝員訓練班。畢業後被派入<四三零穿梭機>做主持﹐和她一起的有梁朝偉﹐周星馳等人。和梁朝偉的戀史就是從那時開始萌芽的。一年半後﹐阿倩就被調入話劇組重新做起。

阿倩第一套劇集是當年無線投資最巨的<雪山飛狐>。她的演出和活力氣息立即引起觀眾注意。觀眾們對阿倩的反應﹐無線決定將她力捧。立即找她做女主角﹐開拍<青春差館>。從此﹐她在無線花旦群中﹐站穩住腳﹐前後參與了多部古裝及時裝電視劇的演出。

在拍戲之余﹐阿倩的誹聞也是蠻豐富的。由於是銷量保證﹐她成為傳媒的囊中物。與她合作過的男藝員大都無可幸免﹐當中計有郭晉安﹐林俊賢﹐張兆輝等﹐真真假假。

當時﹐在香港﹐阿倩已擠身紅藝員之列﹐但她在台灣受歡迎的程度﹐比在香港有過之而無不及。從87年開始﹐她在台灣一直高踞最受歡迎女星首名位置﹐且至少連威四年。據阿倩的回憶﹐在87年時﹐她第一次隨無線藝員組成的表演團往台灣登台﹐料不到受到影迷送來的鮮花以她最多。當時團中比她名氣大的亦有幾位﹐論受歡迎程度﹐無論怎樣也輪不到她的。但是花卻是收得最多的。證明她受歡迎程度已凌駕他人之上。環顧當時環境﹐阿倩也有點不好意思。當手上懷抱的鮮花再也容納不下時﹐忙向影迷示意將花送給身旁的藝員﹐但影迷就是不聽﹐仍將鮮花往她懷中塞去﹐令她尷尬不已。不只台灣﹐阿倩在大馬也一樣揚威的。89年大馬<錄影電視>週刊主辦的最受歡迎女星及十大夢中情人﹐阿倩皆高踞榜首。

89年因為<公私三文治>的驚人收視記錄令無線不能不向她讓步提早簽部頭約。90年11月﹐阿倩完成了台灣劇集<希望之鴿>回港。由于她在離台前與<樂生牌>電器產品在台灣的代理人簽了電視廣告﹐於91年一年間要赴台數次拍廣告片﹐年頭那段時間無線就讓她加入<歡樂今宵>﹐一方面是為了加碼救市﹐且也方便她請假。

到演完三個月的<今宵>後﹐阿倩開始專心留在香港還劇債拍二十集的<夢裡伊人>﹐到八月份拍她自己只有十集戲的<命運迷宮>﹐九月與胡大為拍擋主持<搶錢新一代>﹐十月中再飛台灣逗留六日拍廣告片﹐十一月與無線說再見﹐二十二號正式簽約亞視一年﹐實行與男友陳庭威並肩作戰。

在無線工作期間﹐阿倩拍過多部劇集﹐問她那一部可以稱為代表作的﹐她只是把頭一搖﹐隨後說﹕“真是沒有一部劇集是認真滿意的。若硬要說﹐亦唯有說<夢裡伊人>稍有印象而已。”皆因那是無線替她度身訂造的。

加盟亞視後﹐先後主持或充當大會司儀的計有<一家大小顯神通><奧運小姐選舉>與<亞視台慶>。劇集則有<摩登七十二家房客><天下無敵>及<銀狐>。與陳庭威的戀情也隨日子告一段落。

與亞視約滿後便沒再續約﹐到台灣拍了<牽手出頭天>半年﹐回港後則重投無線﹐拍了<前世冤家>及單元劇<鎮金女人周記II><廉政行動1994>。並與黃霑主持<花弗新世界>及出任多個大騷的大會司儀。

九六年四月二十五日與商人林肇基於英國倫敦註冊結婚﹐從此沒再拍劇集﹐偶爾只接些司儀騷﹐屬于半退休狀態。於九九年一月一日下午二時﹐在沙田仁安醫院誕下他與林肇基的首位愛情結晶品林浩賢。產後的阿倩只是偶爾出席一些公開活動﹐直至二千年五月簽亞視三個月主持<女人.come>。
