About Jenny Hu

Born 1947. Jenny Hu is a German actor.

Jenny Hu (; born 17 November 1945), is a Chinese actress best known for her leads in Hong Kong cinema films throughout the 1960s and early 1970s.

Early life Hu was born to a Chinese father and a German-Hong Kong mother on November 17, 1945, in China. After her Chinese Cantonese father's death her mother took her to Germany where she attended high school. After high school, she moved to Hong Kong and - at the urging of one of her friends - was introduced to famous director Chin Chien who immediately invited Jenny to star in his Shaw Brothers film Till The End Of Time. The film was an overnight success and so was Jenny as she next appeared in a string of successful dramas such as Madam Slender Plum and Four Sisters.

Career With Hu's stunning looks, she appealed to the Chinese community and she became an instant hit. Hu was a popular movie actress and her films were translated into Standard Chinese. Bruce Lee's martial arts caused Shaw management to focus on action-filled movies as the box office sales were way better.

In 1966, Hu made her debut in the film Till the End of Time (何日君再來). Hu was actively acting until she was about 30.

In 2004, Hu appeared in Yesterday Once More (2004), by Hong Kong filmmaker Johnnie To.

Personal life In 1966, Hu secretly married Kang Wei. In 1969, Hu moved to Taiwan. They have two sons. In 1983, Hu and her family moved to Los Angeles, California.

Her son, Terence Yin (尹子維), is also in the film industry.
