Jacqueline Law

Jacqueline Law Wai-kuen () (October 10, 1965 – June 30, 2012) was a Hong Kong television and film actress.

Background

Law graduated from Tak Ching Primary School in 1978 and graduated from Tak Ching Girls' School in Form 5 in 1983. She has participated in Hong Kong Educational Television (ETV) and other programmes produced by the Hong Kong Radio Television Department. In 1983, she participated in the Miss Hong Kong Pageant and entered the run-off, but was suddenly transferred out of the competition by her then-employee company and gave up the opportunity to participate in the competition due to her absence. Law's older brother Law Wai-ping was an actor for TVB during the 1980s. In 1987, Law launched her own acting career at the age of 17. Despite her lack of professional acting experience at the time, Law was cast in a lead role in the 1987 Hong Kong television series '' The Legend of the Book and the Sword''. She portrayed Fok-ching-tung in the series, a television adaptation of Louis Cha's ''The Book and the Sword'', which marked her first dramatic role.

In 1989, during the filming of ''The Final Combat'', Law and Stephen Chow fell in love. Later, the man met Athena Chu during the filming of the movie '' Fight Back to School 2'', and Law withdrew sadly and broke up. Law has always refused to talk about her relationship with Stephen Chow. Later, when she recalled the three years she dated Stephen Chow, she told a weekly magazine, "I will never admit that I dated him." She said that she didn't know how she got through those three years, and perhaps three years was the limit of her tolerance. She admitted that the most painful thing was having to lie and not being able to tell the truth in front of reporters. She doesn't understand her own infatuation, but in return the other party treats her as a lunatic.

After that, she fell in love with Taiwanese popular actor Eric Lee Chih-chi, who co-starred in ''The Legend of the White Snake'', but the relationship did not develop further because they were often separated.

Law was next cast in ''A Friend in Need'', which co-starred Jaime Chik, Simon Yam, and Leon Lai.

Law dated Singaporean magnate and businessman Liu Chee Ming for eleven years. The couple married in 2008.

Her diagnosis with pancreatic cancer led to her retirement from acting. Law held a farewell party in February 2012 before moving to Singapore with her husband for treatment. Guests, composed of twenty friends, included actresses Kitty Lai, Sheren Tang, and Monica Chan. Law died at her home in Singapore on June 30, 2012, at the age of 46.
