Her old movies are popular in China? That's a surprise. As a child actress she made an impression on my young mind. It was very positive character development.

I sometimes try to get my kids to watch old movies with me. I'm not often successful. They want to watch anime!

When I was young it was the Saturday morning picture for kids I went to. All the adventure serials and horribly acted films
