Zoe Tay has rightfully earned the esteemed title of Singapore's entertainment icon since her victory in Star Search in 1988. Transitioning from a successful career as a top model, she wholeheartedly embraced acting and has since portrayed the female lead in numerous television dramas spanning various genres.

Regarded as the unrivaled "Queen of Caldecott Hill," Zoe has consistently lived up to her reputation. She has been voted among the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes in the annual Star Awards for an impressive ten consecutive years since its inception in 1994. Additionally, she became the first female artiste to receive the esteemed All-Time Favourite Artiste Award in 2004.

Zoe's exceptional talent has been recognized through multiple accolades. She secured the Best Actress award at the Star Awards in 2019, 2017, and 1996 for her remarkable performances in "A Million Dollar Dream," "You Can Be An Angel 2," and "Golden Pillow," respectively. In 1998, she was honored with the Special Achievement Award, acknowledging her illustrious career and contributions to the local entertainment scene. Notably, her outstanding portrayals in "You Can Be An Angel 2," "The Ultimatum," and "Home Affairs" garnered nominations for Best Drama Performance by an Actress at the Asian TV Awards in 2017, 2009, and 2000, respectively.

In 2014, Zoe achieved yet another milestone when she was immortalized with a wax figure at Madame Tussauds Singapore, joining the ranks of celebrated celebrities in their esteemed hall of fame.

Beyond her artistic pursuits, Zoe actively engages in charitable endeavors with global and local organizations such as World Vision and the Singapore Council of Women's Organisations (SCWO). In 2018, she launched the "You Can Say No" charity campaign in collaboration with SCWO, addressing the issue of domestic violence through a video broadcasted on Mediacorp TV channels and YouCanSayNo.sg. Furthermore, in June 2019, she participated in a live talk show on Facebook discussing the topic of date rape.

Zoe recently clinched the Best Actress Award at the Star Awards in 2019 and 2021, earning well-deserved acclaim for her exceptional performances in "A Million Dollar Dream" and "My Guardian Angel."
