Angela Pan Yin-tze (born 5 June 1949), or Violet Pan Ying Zi, is a Hong Kong actress who starred in numerous films and soap operas in the 1970s–1980s. Life and career Pan started her career in Hong Kong in films and stage shows. She became a celebrity after traveling to Taiwan and becoming the lead actress in The Return of the Condor Heroes (神鵰俠侶), The Empress of the Dynasty (一代女皇), and The Princess of the Dynasty (一代公主). The Taiwan Television Circle described Pan and her costar Meng Fei (孟飛) as the "perfect couple on the screen." The shows were viewed by over 60% of the population. Pan concluded her work with the Southern Experimental Theater Troupe and began working as an actress in shows through Taiwan's well-known television network China Television Company, Ltd., also known as CTV (中國電視公司). At the time, there were only three channels in Taiwan: Taiwan Television (TTV), China Television (CTV), and Chinese Television System (CTS). This led her to be dubbed the "Lovely Young Mistress of CTV (中視當家花旦)" and the "Queen of CTV" due to all of her television appearances being on CTV during the golden age of the 1980s and 90s. Her ability to portray characters from childhood to old age in critically acclaimed series such as "The Empress of the Dynasty" and "Empress Da Yu Er" (一代皇后大玉兒) has made it difficult for the public to determine her age. Pan's versatility in playing teenage girl roles throughout her career has earned her the nicknames "Baby Doll," "Doll," and "Ageless Legend." She is also notable for being the first actress in the Chinese entertainment industry rumored to have undergone cosmetic surgery, and her seemingly ageless appearance has drawn comparisons to American actress Goldie Hawn. Pan is also well known for The Empress of the Dynasty, The Return of the Condor Heroes, Empress Da Yu Er (一代皇后大玉兒) and The Quarrels with Mother-in-Law (婆媳過招七十回), among other roles. Personal life In 1972, Pan married actor Chan Hung-lit, with whom she co-starred with in many films. The couple divorced in 1980.
