Back in the 1970s, four of the biggest names in Taiwanese and Hong Kong movie industry were Charlie Chin (秦祥林), Chin Han (秦漢), Brigitte Lin (林青霞) and Joan Lin (林鳳嬌). The four were dubbed the “Two Chins, Two Lins” and had starred in several box-office hits. Recently, photos of Chin Han and Joan Lin posing poolside resurfaced online, gaining attention from netizens.
In the photo, the two stars posed hugging while at the pool. Joan appeared in a purple bikini that showed off her cleavage and toned figure, while Chin Han was topless and only in a pair of swimming trunks. According to reports, the pair took the photo sometime in the 1980s. The original poster also shared the story behind the image, revealing that Chin Han was embarrassed to pose with the actress.
Meanwhile, Joan was very confident and smiled brightly for the camera. Another photo of Joan taken on the same day has also resurfaced. The picture shows the retired actress lounging in the same purple bikini. Despite not facing the camera or smiling like in the other photo, Joan’s graceful beauty still shined through.
Besides being the cinema starlet of 1970s Taiwan, Joan is also known to many as the wife of acting legend Jackie Chan (成龙). The two met in 1981 and subsequently married in 1982. Since these photos of Joan were reportedly from the 1980s, we can assume that the couple had already met. After giving birth to son Jaycee, Joan retired from the industry and stepped away from the spotlight to focus on her family.
The old photos of Joan had many praising her beauty and her chemistry with Chin Lin – but what are your thoughts on these photos of the former actress?
