Career

A native of Jeju Island,[2][3][4] Go Doo-shim made her acting debut in 1972 and since then she had a prolific career on television, film and theater.[5]

Best known for playing the quintessential devoted, self-sacrificing mother figure on TV,[6] Go has won the Daesang (the highest acting prize in Korea) a record number of seven times: for her performances in the dramas Fetters of Love (1989), The Dancing Gayageum (1990), My Husband's Woman (1992), Virtue (2000), Ode to the Han River (2004), More Beautiful Than a Flower (2004) and All About My Mom (2015).[7][8] Go was reported to be the top earner among all actors and entertainers who appeared on the KBS network in 2004, with total earnings of ₩373 million.[9]

She also received acclaim for more atypical roles in the films Jealousy (1983), My Mother, the Mermaid (2004),[10][11] Family Ties (2006),[12] and Good Morning President (2009).[13][14][15]

To celebrate her 40th anniversary in the entertainment industry, Go returned to the stage in a 2012 production of Richard Alfieri's Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks.[16][17]
