Here's another Shaw Brothers pinup: this centerfold of Grace Ting Ning appeared in Southern Screen No. 30 (August 1960), accompanied by the following English text.
The Little Angel: Grace Ting Ning
Original name: Tang Chin-hsin
Native of: Wusih, Kiangsu Province
Starred in: "Little Angel", "Enchanted Melody", "Rendezvous in the South Seas", "My Daughter, My Daughter", and "Kiss Me Again".
Her first starring role was in the Shaw film "The Little Angel". Since then that name has stuck with her and Grace Ting Ning is often known as the "Angel of the Screen".
She was a discovery of director Li Han-hsiang. Her screen performance to date has clearly shown that his confidence in her was amply justified.
Ting Ning is one of the best known ambassadress of good will from Hong Kong. For three years in a row she had attended the Pacific Festival in San Francisco, bringing with her to the city with the Golden Gates the good-will of the people of Hong Kong.
Her first meeting with the public as an actress was however not on the screen, but on stage. During the Standard–Sing Tao Fat Choy Drive she appeared in the Shaw stage production "Sorrows of the Forbidden City" which was performed to raise funds for the drive.
Since then Ting Ning has starred in a number of films. Her latest ones being "My Daughter, My Daughter", and "Kiss Me Again".
When she is not emoting before the camera, Ting Ning is at her books. She is one of the few movie stars in the world who is combining her studies with a screen career.
