PRINCESS MING CHU

Billboard vom 30.9.1957

Sie nahm nur 1957 die Single für das Label von Charles Red Matthews
und Bill Biggs auf. Seit 1939 arbeitete Chao Ming Chu wieder in den USA.
Sie soll 1914 in Florida geboren worden sein, dann in New York City gelebt haben.
Es gibt aber auch Berichte, dass sie mit drei Jahren in die USA kam und
auch in Europa tanzte. 1965 war sie noch in einem Film (The Peek Snatchers)
mit Striptease zugange:

Chao Ming Chu is known nowadays, if at all, for her kitsch striptease performance in the 1965 burlesque film The Peek Snatchers. But she had a long and interesting career for at least 25 years prior to that. Allegedly a niece of the Chinese Minister of Railways, she was born in Canton but moved to the United States at the age of three. She started performing sometime around 1939 and specialized in interpretative choreography inspired by Pacific Island and South East Asian dance traditions. It seems that she made a name for herself in Europe. This photo comes from Copenhagen, which she ended up fleeing during the Nazi invasion of Denmark.
