Biography
Lin Chen-Chi was one of Hong Kong Cinema's leading ingenues of the 1970's. Born in Taiwan in 1955, she worked as a photographic model and made a few films in Taiwan before being brought to Hong Kong by Shaw Brothers in 1974. She made an average of two or three films a year during her Shaw Brothers years, beginning with Cohabitation and ending with Haunted Tales. But it was after leaving Shaw Brothers that she delivered her most memorable performance, in Tsui Hark's controversial "Dangerous Encounters - 1st Kind". Lin retired soon afterwards.
