Ly Le Le: Jackie Chan's adoptive sister, a former TVB beauty, just passed away from cancer

Ly Le Le was known to the audience through many famous TVB films, and was considered a stunning beauty in the 70s. But at the end of her life, she passed away alone.

Ly Le Le was born in 1950 and entered the entertainment industry at the age of 14. It is said that because she was so passionate, at the age of 11, she lied and said she was 14 years old so that she could apply for an acting class. In 1964, she signed a contract with the Shaw Brothers company.

After terminating her contract with Shaw Brothers, in 1978, Lee became an actress for Rediffusion Hong Kong (China). In 1989, the actress officially joined TVB. For 3 decades (from 1960-1990), she "made waves" on the small screen.

When she was young, Ly Le Le had a chubby face, sharp and harmonious features, especially big, round, "expressive" eyes. Thanks to that, the actress could take on many types of roles. Her name is associated with famous films such as: Hoang Phi Hung, Giem Pha (1974), Thien Nhai Minh Nguyet, Hong Hi Quan, Tieu Ngao Giang Ho (1996), Thien Long Bat Bo (1997), Lac Than (2002), Thuc Son Ky Hiep...

Ly Le Le easily transformed into a free-spirited female knight, and also had no difficulty portraying the image of noble ladies. When mentioning her, we cannot help but mention the roles: Doc Ty Than Ny (Cuu Nan Su Thai in The Deer and the Cauldron), Diep Nhi Nuong (Thien Long Bat Bo), Vo Tam Nuong (Than Condor Hero).

Initially not knowing kung fu, but thanks to her talent and efforts to hone her skills, actress Ly Le Le later succeeded her senior Trinh Boi Boi, becoming a martial arts star of the 1980s generation, collaborating with Jackie Chan and many other stars, and was praised by the audience as "the beauty of the martial arts screen".

Although she only played supporting roles, her attractive beauty and outstanding acting skills helped Ly Le Le win the public's sympathy. At one point, she was even called TVB's most beautiful woman. However, after her small role in "Forensic Heroes 4", she decided to retire from the screen, occasionally gathering to play mahjong with friends.

With over 40 years of dedication to the art of acting, Ly Le Le has received much love and appreciation from colleagues and audiences. In particular, Jackie Chan once adopted her as his adoptive sister and praised her: "She is an enthusiastic person, always helping junior artists like me."

In her personal life, she entered the entertainment industry and became famous at a young age, and was considered a "superb beauty" of TVB, but Ly Le Le's life was quite difficult. She sacrificed so much for her career that she was so busy with movies and roles that she abandoned her own happiness.

In her twilight years, the former TVB beauty lives alone in a small apartment in Hong Kong. In an interview with the media about being single despite being very beautiful and famous, she honestly said: "At that time, I was just friends with the script, never thinking about rushing into a relationship with a man."

Ly Le Le also believes: "Women do not need to get married", so they should focus on their career and not care about marriage. She is also not too concerned about missing out on her youth: "Fate is not something you can get if you want it. What has passed is hard to get back, especially time".

During her 40 years in the acting industry, she does not have a huge fortune and her salary is still quite low, just enough to cover her living expenses. "My life is very simple, not rich and prosperous because my salary is not significant," the veteran TVB actress admitted.

However, Ly Le Le affirmed that she has no regrets about sacrificing her whole life for art: "Many colleagues regret that I wasted my youth, without a home and children. But anyway, I am still luckier than many people. Cinema has never turned its back on me."

It is worth mentioning that not only did she not have personal happiness and her salary was not high, but at her old age, Ly Le Le also had to face lung cancer. Specifically, the actress's relatives said that since 2020, she had discovered a shadow in her lungs but subjectively did not have a thorough examination.

Ly Le Le announced her retirement from acting because she was worried that her health would not be good enough to film. When her condition worsened and developed into cancer, the artist found out and began treatment. However, on October 27, she passed away after a long battle with the disease.

Li Lili's former manager said that the former actress discovered lung cancer many years ago and had undergone treatment, but the cancer had metastasized and her illness had worsened for about a month. On October 28, HK01 reported that senior artist manager Wang Manling announced that veteran actress Li had passed away at the age of 74.

"Today I was shocked to hear the bad news," this person expressed, and shared old photos of Ly Le Le, including a photo taken with some of the early actresses of the entertainment company Trieu Thi (Shaw Brothers), including Phuong Doanh, Trinh Boi Boi, Tinh Loi... and said that 5 out of 8 of these actresses have passed away. The passing of the former TVB beauty and her tragic life made many of her beloved viewers feel heartbroken and regretful.
