Kong Hung (1) and Tong Dan are same actress

I just read in an International Screen article that Kong Hung (or Chiang Hung) is the actress Tong Dan, who worked in Shaw's Cantonese division. She adopted the new name when she started working at Cathay.

A look at the HKFA catalog confirmed this.

Thanks Dennis! I'll write up a short bio for the DB that also elucidates the name change.
