Hsieh Ling-ling (Chinese: 謝玲玲, born on 20 September 1956) is a Taiwanese-born child star and the ex-wife of Hong Kong billionaire Peter Lam. She starred in five movies from 1977 to 1979, later returning to acting under the name Ling Tse. She appears in The New Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre (1986), as well as the TV show Requiem of Ling Sing (1989). Her work in the 1977 film Tiger & Crane Fists was re-used in the 2002 film Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, which consists mostly of archive material from the earlier film. In 1980, Hsieh married Hong Kong billionaire Peter Lam. The couple had 5 children – Lester, Emily, Evelyn, Eleanor and Lucas, where Eleanor and Lucas are mixed twins. And Hsieh got on very well with her parents-in-law Lim Por-yen and U Po-chu. But the couple divorced in 1995.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
