Alexander Fu Sheng (Cheung Fu Sheng, Chang Fu Sheng) was born into a wealthy family with 11 children in 1954 in Hong Kong. He was one of Shaw Brothers' biggest stars. He is definantly one of my favorites. He often played the part of the young, charming hero and was often paired with Chi Kuan-Chun.
Did I mention he had a wife named Jenny?
In July 1983, while coming home from dinner with his brother, Fu Sheng and his brother were in a car accident. Fu Sheng died later of severe injuries in the hospital.
The people at the studio keeps his make-up and things the way they were, and it is said that his ghost still roams the back lot.
Because of his death, Fu Sheng was not able to finish his latest movie, the Invincible Pole Fighter (8 Diagram Pole Fighter). The script had to be rewritten, and instead of Fu Sheng regaining his sanity and fighting at the end, the script is changed so that Kara Hui Ying-Hung takes his place.
I had found out shortly after I saw the Invincible Pole Fighter (the first time I saw Fu Sheng) that he had died years back, and I was very sad because I had just become a fan.
I've seen all of the movies listed except the ones with an * by them.
