A trained performer of ballet, dance and UsefulNotes/PekingOpera since a child, Angela Mao started her career at age 17 in the film ''Film/AngryRiver'', playing a naïve young kung-fu student. Her short role in ''Film/EnterTheDragon'' as the onscreen sister of Creator/BruceLee, despite having really limited screentime, would allow more of her films to be released into western markets, where she was considered the DistaffCounterpart to Bruce Lee during the 70s.

Angela Mao Ying (born Mao Fuching 茅復靜; September 20th, 1950) is a Taiwanese actress and martial artist, and one of Taiwan's most prominent icons of early kung fu cinema, with a variety of nicknames bestowed upon her by her fans including "Lady Whirlwind", "Lady Kung Fu" and "Deadly China Doll".

A trained performer of ballet, dance and UsefulNotes/PekingOpera since a child, Angela Mao started her career at age 17 in the film ''Film/AngryRiver'', playing a naïve young kung-fu student. Her short role in ''Film/EnterTheDragon'' as the onscreen sister of Creator/BruceLee, despite having really limited screentime, would allow more of her films to be released into western markets, where she was considered the DistaffCounterpart to Bruce Lee during the 70s.
