Guest VonHumboldtFleischer Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I don't recognise her, but she looks rather Korean-looking to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HANZOSTEEL Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 No offense taken or given guys but i already told you it's Maria Yi Dut... If you dont think it's her could you tell me or help me help this guy find out who it is instead of saying who it isnt? Thanks... It's Maria Yi. Next...

Guest Markgway Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Game of Death was filmed in Korea. If she was a Korean actress it would explain why no one recognises her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HANZOSTEEL Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Lol, naughty move my freind What im going to do is e-mail the picture that 'greenbamboo' has posted aking for someone to help him recognize this girl here to the person who owns "bruce lee the divine wind" website. I would be willing to make a wager with you Markgway $20.00 (just for fun) that this is Maria Yi Dut. You dont have to come with any names or a girl you think it is. It's not neccesary but if you can even come up with one it will help. You seem like a very smart man im sure you can come up with someone. Upon recieving notification/verification that this is either Maria Yi Dut or not i will pay you $20.00 or when you lose you will pay me. How's that? If there are any more specifications you would like to include if you are up to the challenge then please express yourself and write it out. This will put an end to wether it is Maria Yi or not and everyone will finally see. Thank you Markgway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Markgway Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I don't think it's Maria either. She's probably Korean. They were making Hap Ki Do at the same time there: maybe she was in that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HANZOSTEEL Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Hm, well these sorts of things interest me because when it comes time to talk with someone or be knowledgeable on a subject i think it's admirable in retrospect if the person took the time to edjucate himself on any given matter. In this case we have an unknown actress. I collect the hong kong act- ress photo cards and to tell you the truth it's my only ''HOBBY'' besides watching asian cinema. Ive spent hundreds of dollars on those photos, and especially enjoy the fact that some of them are signed. A lot of times the photo is unknown as in this case a lesser known actress and i myself send them off to the sellers in hong kong as well as my freinds to help me identify 'actresses' in particular. Just last week i sent 10 unknown's to a person on this forum who sends me a lot of photos. Being a collector of so many magazines herself i look to people like her to help me because they are like you and me enthusiasts. Personally ive done all i could to help this man find the name of the actress and believe me i take no offense when people dont believe me because even i am wrong. But in this case i believe i have solved this case. And it's ok if you dont believe me however lets look at the evidence. 1) We know it's a girl who knew Bruce Lee, and that the picture was taken circa 1972. Game of death. Bruce lee had very few girls that were in more than one of his movies One of them Was Nora Miao (who i have no idea why he left to be with ''linda", really i dont) and the other Most commonly known actress recurring / returning to the films of Bruce Lee was Maria Yi. Being that Maria Yi resembles the girl in the photo in several ways (more than one) i has deduced that it was Maria Yi. I dont know why you guys are ONLY denying it's her and not giving another actress that it could be but this is the case. I look at her chin, and the way it goes up to her lips as well as look at the cheeks. The angle of her head... Her wavy hair her eyes and especially her nose circumspectly and thats how i came to the descision it's Maria Yi. Sherlock Holmes once said "Eliminate all other factors, and the one which remains must be the truth." If you cannot see the striking resemblance ok super ''case repopened'' but only for you because seeing as how i am the only Inspector i have left the case solved. Thanks everyone for you input you are all very smart and i am most gracious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VonHumboldtFleischer Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 The shape of her face and the height of her forehead is different, and her eyes are VERY different. I'm sure we all appreciate your diligence, but you don't seem to have convinced everyone of your theory. I really don't see how our failure to come up with a name makes your case any stronger. I think the Sherlock Holmes quotation you were groping around for is "Whenever you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." However, in order for this maxim to apply to the case in hand, we would have had to already eliminated as likely candidates every other actress in Asia between about 18-32 in 1972.

Guest HANZOSTEEL Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Your a very astute and incisive VonHumboldtFleischer, thank you for your comments and you contributions to this thread. You convinced even me that it isnt her, im flummoxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VonHumboldtFleischer Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Sarcasm, huh? Why I oughtta... Actually, it's a very common mistake. Maria Yi, as it turns out, just has "one of those faces", and has been the cause of much confusion. To help prevent future incidents like these, I am working on a set of flashcards for the hard-of-understanding. They look something like this: Collect them all! Swap them with your friends!

Guest Chinatown Kid Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 :lol Why are you getting so upset sleepman? Everybody has been wrong before, don't you think you could possibly make a mistake too? We don't think that photo is of Maria Yi, would you rather us say nothing and have you give maybe false info? Just because we don't know who it is doesn't mean we don't know who it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greenbamboo Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Thanks for all your responses. It is not Maria Yi as you've worked out. Here is a pic of her and Bruce in April 72 (only months before these pics were shot). These girls haven't been seen in any Bruce Lee films because these are casting sessions for Bruce Lee's Game of Death movie. Please check another shot out below. Different girl. Any guesses? Please keep them coming. Much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chinatown Kid Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 The bottom pic favors Irene Ryder who starred with Chen Sing in The Rage of Wind in 1973. I'm not positive it's her though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HANZOSTEEL Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hey greenbamboo could you explain to me and all the very bright and talented individuals here why if i right click on that NEW picture of the same girl you were asking about earlier, Why it says "mariayi1lm5.jpg"? I also compared that NEW photo to a known photo Maria Yi here : simonyam.com/hkmw/actors/maria-yi/ And again it resembles the one and only Maria Yi AKA Maria Yi Yi Dut @ More than several points of facial regcognition. This time from the front. Her nose, eyes, eyebrows, teeth, cheeks AND jawline; The most common points of regocnition are exactly the same, and to top it off she's with bruce lee again. Well the reason is because it's Maria Yi. simonyam.com/hkmw/actors/maria-yi/ People doubted me but i knew i was right thank you for helping me. I suppose they will still doubt it but it's "ok" it's been fun and i was glad to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chinatown Kid Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Uh, what in the hell are you talking about? Well never mind, if you say it's Maria Yi sleepy then it's Maria Yi, I give up! :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HANZOSTEEL Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Not much Chinatown Kid but i tell you what one thing i dont know but would like to know is why bruce left nora maio and ended up with linda lee cadwell. I never knew they were an item but it seems looking back at some photos that they were an item. He always had his arm around her. She would have been perfect for him. I suppose it was destiny.

Guest Markgway Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hanzo: You need to pay attention more. Bamboo said that the new photo taken with Bruce was Maria Yi: It is not Maria Yi as you've worked out. Here is a pic of her and Bruce in April 72 (only months before these pics were shot). ...and that it's NOT the same person as in the original photograph we've been debating. The eyes, nose, mouth of the two girls you posted (one of them we know is Maria) are different. Let it go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest killer meteor Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hanzo, AFAIK Nora didn't meet Bruce until many years after he had married Linda. Get your facts right And that girl ain't Maria. I agree with the majority that she looks Korean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HANZOSTEEL Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 And that girl ain't Maria. LOL it's hard to give up on one of bruce lee's girls.
