Overview
Jenny Hu (Chinese: 胡燕妮 wu yin ne/hu yian ni; born 17 November 1945), is a Hong Kong actress best known for her leads in Shaw Brothers productions throughout the 1960s and early 1970s.
Early life
Hu was born on November 17, 1945 in Guangdong, China. After her father's death her mother took her to Germany where she attended high school. After high school, she moved to Hong Kong and - at the urging of one of her friends - was introduced to famous director Chin Chien who immediately invited Jenny to star in his Shaw Brothers film Till The End Of Time. The film was an overnight success and so was Jenny as she next appeared in a string of successful dramas such as Madam Slender Plum and Four Sisters.
Career
With Hu's stunning looks, she appealed to the Chinese community and she became an instant hit. Hu was a popular movie actress and her films were translated into Mandarin Chinese. Bruce Lee's martial arts caused Shaw management to focus on action-filled movies as the box office sales were way better.
In 1966, Hu made her debut in the film Till the End of Time (何日君再來). Hu was actively acting until she was about 30.
