Chemistry: OK Relationship: Colleagues Work Again: Positive Fei Fei is one of the better known veteran actress in HK. Despite her unorthodox body, Fei Fei is well known throughout Asia. She had a short marriage with Adam Cheng Siu Chau and is now raising their daughter by herself. Besides HK, Fei Fei also work throughout Asia as an actress, host, and even a singer. A short bio from a film site: Lydia is one of the real personalities in Hong Kong. Her large figure, her spectacles and her rapid fire chatter are almost HK landmarks. Though she doesn’t do many films any more (her last credit was in 1997), she is still everywhere – on TV, in the magazines and in commercials. She also has been a co-host of the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremonies.
She has been acting as the overweight comic foil since she was a child actress in the 1960’s. She was a very popular actress in that decade appearing in scads of films - her debut was in One Blossom Tree Thousand Red Flowers' and some others were Broadcast Queen, A Girl’s Secret, Every Girl a Romantic Dreamer, Teenage Love and Teddy Girls.
In the 70’s she dropped out of films for much of the decade, but came back in the 1980’s – a good deal older and a little heavier – but just as cheerful. In the 80's she was a very popular TV host on the show Happy Tonight. In 1984 she had a hilarious role in Donnie Yen’s Drunken Tai Chi in which she whips Donnie’s butt – but her biggest successes came in a number of family comedies.
Often teaming up with Bill Tung, she appeared in the Mad Mad World series, Double Fattiness, Lost Souls, Mother vs. Mother, Perfect Match, Perfect Couples and many more. She also found time to get married to Adam Cheng (later divorced) and has a daughter (who very much takes after the mother!). |
