Big break
Yeo's recurring turn as Xiao-Mei, the Chinese maid of Gabrielle and Carlos Solis on Desperate Housewives, grew so popular that she was offered a series regular contract for the next season.
Beyond film
Yeo's love of music led her to focus on the Chinese long zither, or guzheng. Her work grew into a one-woman NPR-KCRW radio show about her immigrant and ugly duckling story, and it featured the debut of her first two zither and vocal tracks, "Kiss My Grits" and "Lovers."
Behind the camera
Yeo's radio show became a theater piece called Laughing With My Mouth Wide Open, which she wrote, scored and starred in. It got rave reviews while it ran at the El Centro Theatre.
