Here's an article published just before the release of Kiss Me Again (October 21, 1960) that provides a little counterspin to Fanny Fan's screen image as a sexy femme fatale. Maybe the about-face was meant to prepare the public for her more wholesome roles in the upcoming Chinese New Year releases All the Best (February 15, 1961) and Les Belles (February 25, 1961). One thing is certain: besides her amazing curves, Fanny is one cute puppy!
"I've Been Wronged" says Fanny Fan
Fanny Fan has, since her debut in the movie world, been billed the sex kitten and given other fancy names to publicize her rich natural endowments.In keeping with being a sex kitten, all sorts of rumours, especially those connected with the opposite sex, have been attributed to her.
What does Fanny feel about all this?
"I've been wronged!" Fanny said.
"Anyone with intelligence would know that what they say about me is untrue", Fanny said, making no attempt at hiding her hurt feelings.
Fanny does not like being publicized as a sex kitten, and she certainly detests the rumours that are always surrounding her name.
Looking up from the script of "The Wrong Man", in which she will take the starring role opposite Chao Lei, Fanny declared: "The man who is wronged in the film eventually finds redress, but when will the public realize that these rumours about me are false?"
—from Southern Screen No. 32 (October, 1960)
