In presenting her with the medal on May 3, Mr Biden said that for decades Yeoh has "shattered stereotypes and glass ceilings to enrich and enhance American culture".
"Her roles transcend gender, cultures and languages. From martial arts, to romantic comedies, to science fiction, to show us what we all have in common." As the first Asian actor to win a Best Actress Oscar, she "bridges cultures not only to entertain, but also inspire and open hearts and that's what she keeps doing. Congratulations", said Mr Biden.
