Angela Mao Ying began her career in
Peking opera before studying hapkido and moving to martial arts
films, starring in a King Hu film, The Fate of Lee Khan, as well as the film that gave her the name, Lady Whirlwind.
She also starred in several films focusing on her hapkido and
taekwondo skills. She also played Bruce Lee's doomed sister in Enter
the Dragon. Despite all the
Bruce Lee and Shih Kien action, I still think Angela Mao is the best
part.
She was a powerhouse in Hong Kong's 1970s. Like Cheng Pei-Pei, Angela Mao Ying
retired from film. Unlike Cheng Pei-Pei she hasn't returned. We can still watch her, though.
