This centerfold of Lam Fung appeared in Southern Screen No. 29 (July 1960), accompanied by the following English text.

Darling of the Screen: Patricia Lam Fung

Original Name: Fung Suk-yi
Native of: Shun Tak, Kwangtung
Her recent films: "Sleeping Beauty", "Revolutionary Heroine", "Her Foolish Heart", "Love and Chastity", and "First Love"

Three years ago she packed up her school books and walked out of the school gate into a new life, a screen career, the dream of every girl but which only comes true for a few.

Those who had known her then would remember a fresh young thing whose dark silken tresses hung almost to her waist.

Now three years and some 20 films later Patricia Lam Fung has clipped her tresses short and she has acquired that touch of sophistication and glamour, which are the marks of a movie queen. But she has not lost any of her freshness and charm, which makes her the darling of the screen.

Lam Fung owes her success to no one but herself. She had not started off playing opposite any of the big name leading men. She had always beens starred with young blood like herself.

She is without doubt the most treasured star of the Shaw Cantonese section. Last year she went to Singapore and Malaya for a series of three films which were shot there. The three were "Merdeka Bridge", "When the Durians Bloom" and "Bride Abroad".

On her return Lam Fung had just one thing to say: "My ambition is to travel around the world".
