ANITA MUI

She was one of Asia’s biggest superstars and was even touted as The Madonna of Hong Kong, with credit to her amazing vocals and her awe-inspiring performances, which put Anita Mui on a whole other level when compared to her contemporaries. The actress and singer’s movies pulled in millions when it came to earning box office sales, and she often starred with some of the generation’s most popular actors and actresses—including the likes of Andy Lau.

Anita’s empire lasted for 21 years until she was diagnosed with a serious health issue, which she battled fiercely. Sadly, she succumbed to it back in 2003, when she was only 40 years old. However, her legacy lives on in several TV series that were created in her memory such as Forever Long Song, Anita Mui Fei, and Our Anita Mui. She also has a statue that is located in Hongkong’s Avenue of Stars.
