I see this old woman in almost every movie I watch, but I couldn't find her name. Her biggest role up to date I guess is in "Don't Look Back... or You'll be Sorry" - she plays filippino maid of Dayo Wong and Anita Yuen.

Does no one really know who is it? I thought it's long known fact since she is just like Tsang Cho-Lam or Sai Kwai-Pau in 70s - always there...

I don't recognize her at all, but I will admit that I am not well versed in the films from the '70s. My only long shot SWAG would be Yung Yuk Yi, the old battle axe from the '60s Cantonese martial arts films.

No-no-no, she's in the movies from last 10 years - I mean that I see her now as often as Tsang Cho Lam and Sai Kwai Pau in movies from 70s. :)

I don't know if your lady is between that names.

If you are desperately interested in her, Mr. AkiraRus, I'm afraid you will have to post the complete cast credits of 3 films where she appears to search which of the names coincides in the 3 films... :roll:

OK, I'll try to make captures, but right now I can say that she played in "Love on the Rocks" (and old woman in Louis Koo flashback with Rain Li) and this screen capture (in my first post) is from "Driving miss Wealthy) - she plays an old woman who claims that she was raped by Lau Ching-Wan.

Below are credits for movie Demi-Haunted, where this old woman plays aunt of Eason Chan. Today saw this movie and "Ninth Happiness" (1998) and she was in both of them - I think I saw her now in more than 30 movies! Below are the screencaptures of the cast part - please help me to find her! And pls tell me who plays CID in this movie - I saw this guy somewhere...

Well!
The only name who coincides in the 2 casts is Faat Laan Cha (發爛渣)
According to WebPAC that person also appears in the films "Believe it or Not" (1999) and "My Lucky Star" (2003).
Babelfish says that her role in "Demi-Haunted" is an auntie, so I think we cannot have more doubts...

Yes, I know, I am the best. 8)

The man who plays CID is Wong Man Shing (黃文成). I did not find absolutely nothing about him. Sorry!

None of them is in our Db. :(
