Where are Hong Kong’s most famous actresses of the 90s today? Athena Chu, Rachel Lee, Irene Wan and 5 more film and TV stars still looking fabulous today

From Ada Choi to Veronica Yip, these Hong Kong screen sirens have perfected the art of ageing gracefully – we check in where they are today
However, there are many more silver screen sirens of the 90s who have won the battle against Father Time, too. Athena Chu and Catherine Hung both recently celebrated the big 5-0, and some would argue they look even better than they did in their heyday. Adia Chan and Irene Wan are happily married and positively beaming on their social media accounts, while Rachel (aka Loletta) Lee and Gloria Yip are fabulously single and looking great as they edge close to the half-century milestone.
It’s been over a decade since these ladies have been prominently active on the big and small screens, so STYLE caught up with what they’re up to, and how they are living their best life and looking great while they’re at it.
Catherine Hung
Fifty-year-old screen diva Catherine Hung was considered the great beauty of the silver and small screen, alongside Ada Choi and Monica Chan. After her short-lived marriage to heartthrob Max Mok, scandal erupted when she found out she was pregnant with his child. Mok refused to acknowledge that he was the father for years. As a single mother, Hung still took part in some promotional campaigns and events in the 2000s, but far fewer feature film productions.
Hung eventually found happiness in 2009 when she married mainland Chinese actor Andy Zhang. Often spotted on social media with Zhang and her two children, the family seem as happy as she claims.
Athena Chu
Starting as a host of afternoon variety show 430 Space Shuttle, 50-year-old Athena Chu was the favourite of many kids before she even hit the silver screen. Her film debut, alongside Stephen Chow in Fight Back to School II, saw her nominated as best new performer at the 12th Hong Kong Film Awards. She proved her acting chops in 1999 when she was nominated for best leading actress for her role in The Boss Up There.
