During the '50s and '60s, actress Jeanette Lin Tsui reigned as one of Hong Kong's brightest Mandarin stars. Like her contemporaries Lin Dai and Ge Lan, Lin could sing as well as act. Born in Shanghai, Lin (born Tseng Chi'i-Chen) decided to become an actress while studying in high school. Following WW II, she moved to Hong Kong to pursue her career, but did not make her film debut until 1954 after signing a contract with Liberty Studio. That first effort, A Daughter's Heart, made Lin an instant star. Five years later, she would marry the film's director, Chun Kim. Lin's career continued going strong through the late '60s. She divorced Chun in 1967 (he committed suicide afterward), and married Taiwanese action star Jimmy Wang Yu. Their marriage lasted until 1975. Lin died in early 1995 after suffering an asthma attack followed by heart failure.
