Stars of yesteryears

I have added two more pictures of 5 and 6 to help you identify them. No 5 often acted as the 'evil empress of the west chamber' in old movies. No 6 has come to Singapore to perform or engage in other activities a number of times. She is not slim now. Answers will be published in the second post after this.



The pictures below are from an old opera movie. How many stars do you know?

These two I know - Lum Ka Seng and Chan Ho Kau (the one on the left, second picture).



How many (1 to 8 ) can you recognize? No 1 was often in swords-woman's role in kung-fu films. No 5 and 6 are also well-known stars in movies and dramas.

2) Boon Yat On

3) Len Chi Bak

4) Lau Hak Sheen

All the three are in the other world. I sometimes wonder whether there are Co performances there. If so, it is not a bad idea to go there earlier.

Hahaha, no lah, no co show in the nether world - nobody burns them opera costumes, so they cannot perform.

So the beings there come up to see our shows in the 7th month.
