I have a feeling the 2nd photo image from the left in this entry is not 60s Shaw character actress Julia Hsia:

I believe it's Taiwan based Shaws Southern Drama Group grad, former Miss Seiko & best known to KF fans as David 'the Rover' Chiang's girlfriend in Chang Cheh's 'The Duel' aka Jeanette Yu Wei aka Yu Hui (Mando) aka 'Yue Wai' (Canto):

That photo appears to be her as a teen in King Hu's 'Sons of Good Earth' (where she was uncredited). Can't miss her, she stands near 6 feet tall limiting the studio's casting choices for her towering opposite male leads during a time after the war when HK males were only fed a staple of Carnation imitation powdered milk :wink:. Anyway, someone please do the honors, thanks.

Hi Kenichiku, please remember that the portraits on the filmography page are randomised each time, so your 'second on the left' is not going to be somebody elses :-)

But if I understand correctly, you're saying this picture:

Should be here?

Certainly looks more like her... was never happy with the Ha Yee-Chau ID.

Mix-up

That's the one. There's another one of Jeanette singing in blue (Sons of Good Earth) that's also on Julia's image page. Ah, I also see a shot of Angela Yu Chien (yellow sweater) in Julia's portrait page!

All three of these actresses are freshman colleagues in the same studio but I dunno, they don't look the same to me but hey like I said, it's all a work in progress.

Moved images from Sons Of Good earth to Yue Wai (1) and corrected the cast list.

I think you're right on Dancing Millionairess/Anyela Yu too, but I'll leave the original uploader to correct that (remind me in a bit if it doesn't happen!).
