    Early life and education
    She was born on 30 December 1943 to Tun Shwe and Than Tin in Rangoon, Burma, the
    youngest of four children. She attended Methodist English High School and enrolled
    at Rangoon University for higher education.

    Film career
    She began her career in film at the age of 16, with her debut film, Seit (စိတ်, lit.
    "Mind"). Throughout the course of her career, she has starred in hundreds of films
    and directed over 50. She won three Myanmar Motion Picture Academy Awards,[2] for
    her work in Chit Thami (Lovely Daughter) in 1965, Chaung Ko Pyit Ywe Myit Ko Sha in
    1969, and Meingalay Shin Ei Sanda in 1977.

    Business interests
    She founded the Wah Wah Win Shwe Film Production company in 1970. She also has
    interests in real estate, particularly in Yangon.[3] She owns Su Htoo Pan Cinema.
    [3] In 2012, she began work with Great Father Land Construction to redevelop the
    site of the historic cinema into a 14-storey condominium.[4] In 2013, contractual
    disputes surfaced between the two parties, with Wah Wah Win Shwe claiming that the
    company had performed occult rituals on the site.[5] The company accused her of
    retreating from an agreement to pay 1.2 billion kyat to build the tower and
    subsequently filed a defamation lawsuit in late June.[5] In July of that year,
    Father Land Construction withdrew the lawsuit and cited her inability to pay for
    the remaining costs of construction.[6][2]

    Personal life
    Wah Wah Win Shwe wed Than Htut, an actor, in 1971. They have two sons, Win Htut Win
    and Wa Zin. She is reported to have been romantically linked to Kokang ‘War lady’
    Olive Yang.[7]
