Taiwan Veteran Actress Wang Qian-yu Performs Own Stunts at 76
Veteran Taiwanese actress Wang Qian-yu, 76, returned to the big screen after a 47‑year hiatus in the film "Sunshine Girls Choir" and won the Taiwan Film Critics Association Best Actress award. She insisted on doing a fight scene herself without a stunt double, explaining that her distinctive movement style is recognizable and essential for the movie. To achieve a realistic white‑hair look for her prison‑bound character, the crew dyed each hair strand with brow‑gel, a process that took about an hour each day.
Meanwhile, actress Chen Pei-chi, approaching 50, disclosed that a recent decline in immunity has caused vitiligo‑like white patches on her skin, raising concerns about her acting career. She is currently starring as a single mother in the TV drama "Needle and Thread" and expressed a new ambition to become a beloved "national mother" figure over the next two decades, despite the health challenge.
