Chan
Fans
Connie Chan was known as the Movie-Fan Princess because
of her huge popularity and the extreme devotion of her fans.
It is fair to say that her status in Hong Kong pop culture is comparable
to that of Elvis Presley and The Beatles in the West. The only other
person who came close to matching Connie in popularity was her frequent
co-star Josephine Siao Fong-fong.
Connie
served as a role model for Chinese girls and women in Hong
Kong and all over the world, in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam,
the Philippines, and the USA. Even after she retired from the silver
screen, Connie continued to attract followers, siblings and children
of the first generation of fans. And today with the release of her
films on VCD and DVD, she is starting to find devotees among Western
fans of Hong Kong cinema. Here then are the stories of her loyal fans.
