Early life and education
Lim was born on 26 September 1986 and is the second among three children in a Hokkien family.
She studied at CHIJ Saint Nicholas Girls' School for her pre-school, primary, and secondary education, followed by Victoria Junior College[3] and Singapore Management University (SMU) for her tertiary education.

She was awarded the Miss Photogenic title,[4] and not long after, she was spotted as a talent and signed on as a part-time actress with Mediacorp.[5] She made the transition to being a full-time actress after her graduation.[6]
Career
Her first leading role in a drama came in 2008 – The Truth, where she co-starred with Tay Ping Hui and Joanne Peh. However, she was criticised for her command of the Chinese language.[7]
In 2009, Lim starred in Fighting Spiders, which garnered positive reviews for her portrayal of Susie Woon, a prostitute. In 2010, the drama had a second season which won her the honours of Actress of the Year at ELLE Singapore Awards 2010.[8]
In 2010, Lim starred in the award-winning Channel 5 law production, The Pupil, where she played a trainee lawyer, Wendy Lim, in Roberts & Fongs. Her performance in The Pupil earned her the Best Actress in a Leading Role at the 2010 Asian Television Awards.[9]
In 2012, Rebecca's Mandarin breakthrough role was her portrayal of a psychiatrist in the Channel 8 drama Unriddle 2. Her performance earned her a Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes accolade at the annual Star Awards 2012. This was her first nomination and consequently her first win in the category.[10]

In 2016, as part of a marketing campaign for NTUC Income, an insurance agency in Singapore, Lim announced she is retiring via her Instagram account.[15] The general public believed that she is retiring and the campaign drew backlash when she clarified during a press conference it was part of a marketing campaign and she is not retiring.[16]
In 2016, Lim was awarded the Asian Star Award during Seoul International Drama Awards for her role, Wan Fei Fei in The Journey: Our Homeland, a national building trilogy drama.
