Na Moon-hee (Korean: 나문희; Na Kyung-ja, Korean: 나경자; November 30, 1941) is a South Korean actress. Since 1960, Na has had a prolific acting career in television and film spanning more than five decades. She established a classic Korean mother persona with her TV dramas Even if the Wind Blows, The Most Beautiful Goodbye in the World (written by Noh Hee-kyung),[2] My Name is Kim Sam-soon, My Rosy Life, Goodbye Solo,[3] Amnok River Flows (based on Der Yalu fließt), and It's Me, Grandma.[4] On the big screen, Na has received acclaim for her roles in Crying Fist,[5] You Are My Sunshine, Cruel Winter Blues[6] and I Can Speak. Her critically acclaimed film I Can Speak (2017) won her the Best Actress trophy in three prestigious award ceremonies: 54th Baeksang Arts Awards, 38th Blue Dragon Film Awards and 55th Grand Bell Awards — a feat that has yet to be repeated.[7]
