Ann Mui

Ann Mui Oi-fong (梅愛芳) (10 December 1959 – 16 April 2000) was a Hong Konger singer and actress.

Career Born on 10 December 1959 in China, Mui experienced much hardship in her childhood. Her father died when she was very young and her mother, Tam Mei-kam, raised four children alone.

Like her sister Anita, Ann had a dramatic contralto singing voice, which is a rarity in Chinese pop music. Despite not being twins, both Ann and Anita's singing voices were strikingly similar, with the only way to tell them apart was the hand in which they hold the microphone. She is best remembered for her supporting roles in many movies, especially Jackie Chan's Police Story 2.

Ann Mui died of cervical cancer in 2000, as would Anita three years later. Both sisters died at age 40. Ann died in St. Paul's Hospital, Causeway Bay, and her ashes were interred in Shang Sin Chun Tong, Kowloon Tong.

Personal life In 1991, she married the father of her two sons, Poon Lap-Tak, whom she and her family became estranged from until her death in 2000.
