Born in 1908, Hu Die was a film actress from the late 1920s to the 1960s. She had her most brilliant period in the 1930s and 1940s. She played the leading role in China's first sound film, "The Singsong Girl." She appealed to a broad audience and her starring roles broke box-office records. Hu was one of the few formally trained actresses. In 1924, she enrolled in the China Film School and began her meteoric rise to stardom. She was crowned China's first Film Queen in 1933 when she was 25. She moved to Canada in 1975 and died in 1989.
