Today, I am remembering Angela Yu Chien, the Shaw actress who out-acted Lin Dai, Pat Ting Hung and Kwan Shan in Blue And Black and went on to win a best supporting actress award for her role.

She started off her Shaw career with this sweet image but somewhere along the way, she was groomed as a sexpot and became typecast.

R.I P Angela.......you will never be forgotten!

Here are 2 diverse images of Angela. The colour photo is from a controversial scene in Death Valley courtesy of Celestial Pictures.

Today I am saddened by news of the death of Wang Yu, one of my favourite actors from Shaw Studio. He was born in 1955 which makes him only 53 years old when he passed away on 16 May 2008.




In 2006, before undergoing a brain operation, he made a will and told reporters that they can open and publish the contents of the will if he does not survive the operation.



Susan Shaw Yin-yin who saw him recently commented that he had lost a lot of weight.



There are rumours of suicide in the press but the official version is that a viral infection killed him.

I think I will mourn for him now and celebrate his life and achievement later.

Since I first saw her as scholar Liang Shan Po in The Love Eterne, I have always wanted to meet Asian Movie Queen Ivy Ling Po. Through the years, she has remained my favourite Chinese actress irrespective of the fact that her last movie was 1987's Golden Swallow.

I am glad to say that so far, I have managed to meet the living legend that director Kenneth Bi calls "mum" 4 times. Hopefully I will manage another meeting in the near future.
