| Ricky Hui dies after heart attack Posted: 08 Nov 2011 10:46 PM PST HONG KONG: Actor/singer Ricky Hui died on Tuesday after suffering a heart attack. The 65-year Ricky, the younger brother to Michael Hui and Sam Hui, had been suffering from heart problems and was dependent on an implant after undergoing surgery last year. He was feeling unwell, and friends who dropped by to check on him complained that his doorbell went unanswered. He was later found dead by another brother - Stanley. The news of Ricky's death was confirmed by Hong Kong filmmaker Clifton Ko and Sam Hui's concert producer Siu Chiu Shun. Ricky was slated to participate in Sam's concerts in April next year. Ricky, who was active in Chinese cinema from the 1970s to the 90s, has 61 movies to his name and also recorded seven albums. He was a correspondent with AFP in Hong Kong before embarking on a film career. However, his big break only came when he joined his brothers on screen, making memorable comedies that signified a new era in Hong Kong cinema. His eldest brother is famed comedian Michael while Samuel is a renowned singer-songwriter, who is known as Hong Kong's first God of Song. Ricky's popular movies include The Private Eyes (1976), Security Unlimited (1981), Mr Vampire (1985) and Chicken And Duck Talk (1988). His last film was Divergence in 2005. Born in Guangdong, China in 1946, Ricky migrated with his family to Hong Kong in 1950. Besides Michael, Samuel and Stanley, he also has a sister - Judy. Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
