Hollywood star James Shigeta and Hong Kong star Pat Ting Hung
I was happy to find this little surprise in the May 1962 issue of Screenland. A scan of the original article is available here.
Pat Ting Hung Admits Admiration for American-Japanese Star
Pat Ting Hung, who doesn't have an intimate boyfriend yet, declares that she has found her ideal man. "But", she says, "it is a pity that I don't have the chance to meet him. I will try to find the chance."
Who is this man?
If you are a patron of American movies you may have seen "Bridge to the Sun", starring Carol Baker and James Shigeta. And James is the man Pat talks about. And he will appear on the Hollywood screen again in "Flower Drum Song".
Pat has seen "Bridge to the Sun" three times just to see James, and she says that she will do the same with "Flower Drum Song".
She also has learned, from different sources, that James is only twenty-five, unmarried, and doesn't even have an intimate girl friend. She herself is only twenty and doesn't have a boyfriend too.
But, the only thing is, does James know that he has such an admirer in Hong Kong?
To see why Ting Hung took such a fancy to James Shigeta, check out this video tribute which screened at the 2006 San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival.
