Sisi Hollywood: The Heart Behind the Fame
There’s a certain magic that comes when someone steps onto the red carpet at the Golden Globes—the lights, the glamour, the flashing cameras. But for Sisi Cao, it was never just about the glitz. It was about something more—something deeper. As a two-time Golden Globes red carpet host and the official red carpet host of the prestigious Atlantic City Boxing Hall of Fame, Sisi knows the world of fame and fashion inside and out. But her story begins far from the red carpets and award ceremonies. It starts in a small town in China, where a young girl with big dreams dared to imagine a life far beyond her humble beginnings.
Sisi, now a media socialite ,fashion icon, and beauty entrepreneur, has transformed those dreams into a global platform that goes beyond the surface. Her talk show, Sisi Hollywood, isn’t just another celebrity interview program. It’s a celebration of the human spirit, a place where stories come to life—not just the stories of fame, but the stories of resilience, growth, and inner strength.
For Sisi, her journey from small-town dreamer to international personality is proof that dreams are worth pursuing—no matter the odds. “I’ve always believed that there’s something powerful in dreaming big,” Sisi says, her eyes lighting up as she recalls her early days. “Growing up in China, I had this incredible vision of what life could be. I know God has beautiful plan for each one of Us . I didn’t have much, but I had my passion. I knew that if I followed my heart, there would be no limit to what I could achieve.”
And achieve she did. From hosting the Golden Globes red carpet to hosting the Atlantic City Boxing Hall of Fame, and launching her own beauty brand, Forever 25 Lifestyles, Sisi has become a force in both the entertainment and fashion industries. Known for her beauty, impeccable fashion sense, and natural charisma, she has carved out a space for herself as a modern icon, a woman who not only embraces glamour but also represents strength, ambition, and grace.
But Sisi’s journey wasn’t without its challenges. “Moving to the U.S. was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done,” she admits. “I didn’t know anyone in this business ,I didn’t have connections, but I had my dream. I knew that if I worked hard enough, and stayed true to myself, things would happen.” That unwavering belief in her vision is what led to the creation of Sisi Hollywood, a platform that goes beyond celebrity culture to tap into the very essence of human experience.
And it’s not just Sisi’s vision driving the show. Behind the scenes is her husband and producer, William Harlam, a fellow dreamer who has been by her side every step of the way. “William has always believed in the power of storytelling, just like I do,” Sisi says with a smile. “He’s been instrumental in bringing this show to life, and we’re both driven by the same desire—to inspire and uplift through the stories we share.”
Sisi Hollywood, in partnership with The Donna Drake Show, isn’t your typical celebrity talk show. While it does feature some of the world’s most recognizable stars,it’s the show’s unique approach that sets it apart. Streaming across platforms like CBS, YouTube, and Spotify, Sisi Hollywood takes viewers deeper than the surface of fame. “What we’re doing with Sisi Hollywood is something different,” Sisi explains. “Yes, we’re talking to celebrities, but we’re talking about the things that really matter: their personal journeys, the struggles they’ve overcome, the lessons they’ve learned along the way.”
In each episode, Sisi takes viewers on a journey into the heart of the people behind the fame. These are real stories of growth, struggle, and success. “Everyone sees the fame and the glamour, but behind all of that, these are people who have gone through incredible challenges,” she says. “I want to explore what it takes to keep going when things get tough—because that’s something everyone can relate to, whether you’re a global superstar or someone chasing a dream in a small town.”
This personal, intimate approach is what makes Sisi Hollywood so captivating. It’s a show that celebrates the human side of success—the inner strength, passion, and resilience that drive people forward. “It’s about creating a connection,” Sisi explains. “I want viewers to feel inspired by these stories, to see themselves in the journeys of the people we feature. Because at the end of the day, we’re all more alike than we are different.”
With Sisi Hollywood reaching millions through its various streaming platforms, both in English and Chinese, the show is making waves not just in the U.S. but globally. “Being bilingual is so important to me,” Sisi says. “It’s about being inclusive and making sure that we’re reaching as many people as possible. I want to inspire people no matter where they are in the world.”
Beyond her media empire, Sisi’s influence stretches into the world of beauty and fashion. Her brand, Forever 25 Lifestyles, reflects her commitment to timeless beauty and self-confidence. “Forever 25 is more than just a brand. It’s a mindset,” she says. “It’s about embracing who you are, loving yourself at every age, and feeling beautiful—inside and out.”
From the red carpet to the boardroom, Sisi has proven that it’s possible to be both a dreamer and a doer.
And while Hollywood may be known for its stars, it’s clear that Sisi Cao is shining in her own right—not just because of her beauty and charisma, but because of the heart she brings to everything she does. Whether she’s sitting down with a global icon or launching her next business venture, Sisi remains grounded in the belief that dreams can inspire the world.
“I’m just getting started,” she says with a smile, her eyes full of the same hope and passion that carried her from that small town in China to the global stage. “There’s so much more I want to do, and so many more stories to tell. My dream is to keep creating, keep inspiring, and to remind people that anything is possible when you follow your heart.”
And with Sisi Hollywood and Forever 25 Lifestyles, that dream is already well underway.
