Retired Hong Kong actress Tina Ti, a sex symbol in the 1960s and 1970s, has died. She was 65.


Family friend Chan Wing-hong told reporters Thursday that Ti passed away a day earlier. News reports said she was 65. Hong Kong's Apple Daily newspaper reported the late star was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2005.

Ti, whose credits include "A Big Mess," "One Day at a Time" and "Dark Rendezvous," caused a sensation in Hong Kong by appearing nude in the 1972 Li Han-hsiang movie, "The Warlord."


(*P.S* she wasn't willing to film it at first but gave in because the director promised her the camera would be far away and a chiffon net would be in front of the bed. However, it turned out that the director secretly hid a camera and captured everything.)


She is survived by a son, Michael Ma (he was a 'she' before).

RIP
