Im received a bachelor's degree from the University of California at Berkeley and an MFA in Acting from California Institute of the Arts.
Career
Im has performed across the United States, as well as throughout France (most notably at the Théâtre National de la Colline in Paris). She has appeared on the stages of American Conservatory Theater, Goodman Theatre, California Shakespeare Theater, and La Jolla Playhouse. She played the role of Perdita in The Winter's Tale in the first Shakespeare production at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival with a primarily Asian cast in the lead roles.
Im is a recipient of the Fox Foundation Resident Actor Fellowship through Theatre Communications Group and the William and Eva Fox Foundation.
In 2014, Im portrayed both Viola and Sebastian California Shakespeare Theater's all-female production of Twelfth Night. KQED wrote "Cindy Im is a bright and passionate Viola, beautifully capturing the character’s keen intelligence, but also her fear of being discovered and her indignation on her master’s behalf".
Of Im's portrayal of Perdita in The Winter's Tale in 2016, Bohemian.com wrote: "As Leontes' abandoned daughter Perdita (Cindy Im, breathtakingly good) comes to adulthood in a foreign country, the forces of fate and soft-heartedness conspire to bring two broken families back together again. Rarely has The Winter's Tale made so much emotional sense, or been so devastatingly, lovingly and magically transformed into what we imagine Shakespeare, late in his life, intended: a thing of sweet, life-affirming beauty".

Why this record matters
“Cindy Im” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Cindy, American and actress provides the most credible route into that argument.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 10, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q65706110. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2014 and 2016.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
