FORMER Hong Kong sex symbol Tina Ti (pic) – the first Chinese actress to appear in a nude role – has died at the age of 65, major Chinese dailies reported.
Her family friend Chan Wing Hong said Ti, who was better known as Di Na during her heydays in the 60s and 70s, was admitted to the hospital two weeks ago after a long battle with cervical cancer and died on Wednesday.
She was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2005.
Ti, whose credits included A Big Mess, Beauty and the 7 Beasts, One Day at a Time and Dark Rendezvous, caused a sensation in Hong Kong when she appeared nude in The Warlord in 1972.
Ti had, in an interview two years ago, admitted that she used to gather intelligence for the Communist Party of China in the 60s.
She is survived by a son, Michael Ma, who underwent a sex change 10 years ago to become a man in order to protect his single mother.

ReplyDeleteRIP Tina Ti
a woman with conflicting personelity who on one hand seems to be an sex maniac whilst on the other she behaves like a virgin. rotten mind and may be the cause of her daughter or son, depending on how you look at it. corruptuous character but tries to expound virtues. ridiculous.
