NOTE: I thought most of her movies were made in Hong Kong. Boy, I must have been wrong!!

YANGON, Myanmar — The military-backed government of Myanmar has deported Hollywood actress Michelle Yeoh, who stars as pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi in an upcoming movie, officials said Tuesday.

The Malaysian actress arrived in the country's main city, Yangon, on June 22 and was deported the same day because she was on a blacklist, a government official said.

The official, who declined to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the press, did not say why Yeoh was on the list. But Myanmar's repressive government has routinely rejected visa requests of journalists and perceived critics for years.
