In a glamorous era of steamy scenes, this enchanting beauty chose to 'step out of the game' for love.
The 80s and 90s marked the 'golden age' of Hong Kong (China) 18+ films. Many beauties fearlessly embraced hot scenes, becoming celebrated names for their daring skin display. One standout figure was Diep Tu My, a bold presence on the screen, even causing names like Chow Yun-fat to be 'overwhelmed'.
Born in 1966, Diep Tu My gained fame as a model before venturing into cinema. She commenced her acting career in the late '80s, often in the role of the 'flower vase,' the epitome of beauty. Her name soared after participating in the film Lieu trai diem dam, achieving the highest box office in 1990.
After a year, Diep Tu My became the 'hot scenes queen' by continuing with Nhuc bo doan. This 18+ film also holds the record for the highest box office in the history of Hong Kong cinema, contributing to enhancing the status of the 60s beauty. She was conscious of her alluring figure, even purchasing a 6 billion insurance for her assets. However, on screen, Diep Tu My never fully undressed, often employing the 'tease' technique to captivate viewers.
Also in 1991, Diep Tu My caught the attention of Chow Yun-fat, joining him in the film Tinh thanh. In the remaining 5 years of her career, the actress participated in numerous other 18+ projects but ultimately chose to depart from the entertainment industry. She cited boredom and being stuck in the world of 'adult' films without meaningful development as her reasons. However, everyone knows the real reason lies elsewhere.
At the peak of her career, Diep Tu My unexpectedly declared retirement, withdrawing into seclusion. The reason being, in 1992, she met and fell in love with the renowned doctor Lu Tich Chieu. They lived together with his son, yet never had a wedding. Without any formal status, Diep Tu My asked for nothing, simply living with the one she loved. However, in 2018, Lu Tich Chieu passed away due to a heart condition, leaving a substantial fortune for the family.
However, Diep Tu My received nothing, actively handing everything over to Lu's son and his ex-wife.
At the current age of nearly 60, Diep Tu My remains single. Fortunately, with the accumulated earnings from her acting and advertising during the golden years, the former 'hot scenes queen' still has a comfortable life. Recently seen at a recent event, her beauty and demeanor received praise, not falling short of her younger counterparts in the same frame.
