HK Comedian and Actress Lydia Sum Dies of Cancer 15:07, February 19, 2008 HK comedian and actress Lydia Sum dies of cancer 15:07, February 19, 2008 Lydia Shum Din-Ha, known as Fei-fei, or Fatty, and one of Hong Kong's most popular comedian actresses, died of liver tumor and other complications on Tuesday morning in a hospital in Hong Kong. She was 60 years old. Veteran Hong Kong actress Lydia Sum, known for her iconic black-rimmed glasses and heavy build, died early Tuesday. She was reportedly 61. The cause of death wasn't immediately clear, but Sum had been suffering from a bile duct condition. Born in Shanghai in 1947, Sum made her movie debut at age 13. She acted in more than 100 movies in Hong Kong and hosted more than 5,000 episodes of variety shows. Shum was born in July, 1947 into a well-off large family in Shanghai and ranked the fifth among the family's eight children. She made her film debut in 1960, joined the Hong Kong- based Shaw Brothers, a famous film company, as a child actress and rose to stardom with the free-to-air television broadcaster TVB's variety show Enjoy Yourself Tonight, which was hugely popular in Hong Kong for over 20 years. With her signature smile, dark-rimmed glasses and comic hairstyle, Shum established herself as a comic and dramatic actress. Her successful career spanning almost half a century also included the role as a TV hostess. Shum married Hong Kong actor and singer Adam Cheng Siu-chow in 1985 after they lived together years. The two split up in 1987, only eight months after their daughter and only child Joyce was born. Shum, dogged by numerous health problems, including chronic ailments such as cholangitis, diabetes and hypertension, was lately admitted to hospitals repeatedly. She was diagnosed with liver tumor and cancer around the gallbladder in 2006 and was discharged from hospital in July 2007 after an operation to remove a third of her liver. But she collapsed at home and was rushed to hospital in October. "Source: Xinhua" .

  • Newsletter 30
    Glamour Unlimited November 2004 marks the fifteenth anniversary of the death of Yam Kim-fai. It was on an auspicious note that the preparation work of a retrospective and a topical publication dedicated to the stage legend went underway. Such is Sister Yam's charisma and enduring glamour. Then the news of the death of Kung Chiu-hsia (1916-2004) dawned on us one day in September. An icon of motherly love who brought a cordial and gracious bearing to many screen classics, Sister Kung and her artistic legacy, including the memorable tune 'Beyond the Frosty Waters' will remain close and dear to the hearts of many (see pp 10-11 for Tong Kim-hung's article). Yet misfortunes never come singly, and with a sinking heart we pay respects to the late producer Mr Wong Cheuk-hon (1920-2004), a prominent figure in both Hong Kong and Taiwan film industries who founded Liberty Film, Lan Kwong and First Organisation during his immensely successful career. Further research will have to be undertaken to chronicle the achievements and endeavours of the three companies. (see Mable Ho's Our 'First' Thanks in Newsletter No. 19.) Saddened archive colleagues mourned the loss of our systems manager Mr Isaac Leung, who passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. His departure is a vivid reminder of the hard and fervent days leading up to the Archive's official opening. It was one Saturday afternoon back in 1999 when Isaac carried around a huge bundle of network cables, inserting each into the ceiling panel and fixing the connection meticulously, and announced the birth of the on-line computer systems in our tiny temporary office in Mong Kok that opened up a whole new horizon for research, arrangement, verification, and information exchanges of film knowledge on the Internet...yet it's just mere groundwork.
