Porn stars usually make a name for themselves with their rather raunchy, lurid performances. But, for actress Lily Chung (锺淑慧), she apparently chose the path after the more conventional one seemingly failed her.
Lily Chung has been happily married to Hong Kong-based actor Hugo Ng (吴岱融) for 28 years. Currently, she lives a leisurely life with her husband and their son, Justin. However, prior to her settling down, she had what looked to be a very successful career with TVB before she had to turn to porn films to make a name for herself.
The 54-year-old had found her way to TVB as most do, through beauty pageants. Regretfully, while the 1987 Miss Hong Kong competition had to be postponed, TVB did hold the Miss Universe Hong Kong 1987 pageant, which Lily ended up participating in. Well, her efforts paid off.
At the age of 18, Lily swept the competition, nabbing the title and the Most Attractive Award, which also earned her the right to represent Hong Kong in the Miss Universe 1987 pageant. After her duties as a beauty queen were finished, she joined TVB. Unfortunately, her career development was not as good as she hoped. Hoping for a breakthrough, she left TVB in 1993 and turned to the erotic film industry.
Porn actors were in high demand during the 1990s as erotic films were booming. With the right timing and her efforts, Lily soon became an independent porn star. Her work in the 1993 erotic thriller, “Daughter of Darkness (灭门惨案之孽杀)” earned her praise as she portrayed a young girl abused by her stepfather. It also opened the doors to other filming opportunities in different genres, such as fantasy film “The Bride with White Hair 2 (白发魔女2)”.
There is no denying that Lily Chung built her career with her own two hands and clearly wasn’t afraid to do what she needed to make a name for herself. So, it’s certainly gratifying to see her enjoying life as she is now with her husband and son!
