Marilyn Monroe of Hong Kong Golden Age

Hong Kong Cinema : The Golden Age Episode 13 Cherie Chung: The Marilyn Monroe of Hong Kong Jean-Luc Godard once said, All you need to make a movie is a girl and a gun. Many Hong Kong films have both. Sometimes, to make a movie truly great, you need a leading lady . In any film industry, such talent is rare. However, in Hong Kong, stars like Brigitte Lin, Cherie Chung, and Maggie Cheung were those rare icons who could make any film brighter just by being in it. While they were all legends, for me, Cherie Chung is the most charming of them all. She is a true screen goddess, rightfully known as the Marilyn Monroe of Hong Kong. In this video, I explore the career and filmography of Cherie Chung.
