Here's another Shaw Brothers pinup: this centerfold of Diana Chang Chung-wen appeared in Southern Screen No. 41 (July 1961), accompanied by the following English text.
Sexy but Serious: Diana Chang Chung-wen
Original name: Chang Chung-wen
Native of: Peking
Her recent films: "The Lost Love", "Bride Napping" (in Eastmancolor and Shawscope), and "Empress Wu Tse-tien (in Eastmancolor and Shawscope)
Diana Chang Chung-wen, often billed as the "most beautiful animal of Free China" and rightly so, decided to turn serious in her roles about a year ago.
She took the starring role in three serious productions. They were "Flames of Passion", "Twilight Hours", and "The Lost Love" which were immediate successes.
Diana herself is happy about the change. "At last I can do more than just look Chang Chung-wen on the screen," she had once said.
Off-screen Diana is frank and amiable. She makes friends easily and has a most pleasant disposition.
In her recent films, Diana Chang Chung-wen is making guest appearances in two Eastmancolor Shawscope productions. One of them is "Empress Wu Tse-tien" in which she plays the role of Empress Wang, and the other is "Bride Napping" in which she plays the role of a fighting amazon.
