Jessica Hester Hsuan, or Suen Huen (Chinese: 宣萱; pinyin: Xuān Xuān; [IPA: syn hyn]; born 18 August 1970 in Hong Kong) is a Hong Kong actress. Jessica holds a degree from Imperial College London.
She is currently one of the most popular television actresses of Hong Kong. She started her career in late 1992 and early 1993. Back in the 90's, Jessica was constantly in the limelight for not getting along with a few actresses, though most of the rumours had subsided by the 2000s.
Jessica changed her contract to a "per-series" as of late 2006, after it was disclosed that she did not renew her current contract. She is no longer under TVB's management, and under her former manager, Carri Ma. Jessica is currently under the management of Lydia Lo.
