Biography

Lin Chen-Chi, a prominent actress in Hong Kong Cinema, emerged as one of the leading ingenues of the 1970s. Born in Taiwan in 1955, she initially pursued a career in modeling, capturing the attention of photographers with her captivating presence. Before transitioning to the big screen, she made a few film appearances in Taiwan, laying the groundwork for her future success.

In 1974, Shaw Brothers discovered Lin and brought her to Hong Kong, where she began to make a name for herself in the film industry. During her tenure with Shaw Brothers, she consistently appeared in an average of two to three films per year, starting with "Cohabitation" and concluding with "Haunted Tales". These early roles showcased her versatility as an actress, as she effortlessly adapted to various characters and storylines.

However, it was after leaving Shaw Brothers that Lin truly showcased her remarkable talent, delivering a memorable performance in Tsui Hark's provocative "Dangerous Encounters - 1st Kind". This controversial film cemented her status as a talented actress, and she soon retired from the industry, leaving behind a lasting legacy in Hong Kong Cinema.
