Terence Morgan
The roguish charm of the actor Terence Morgan, who has died of heart failure aged 83, added spice to mostly monochrome melodramas during the not-so-glorious days of British movies in the austere 1950s. Tall, dark and handsome, he starred in films such as Turn The Key Softly, Tread Softly Stranger and Dance, Little Lady and was in the mould of Dirk Bogarde and Laurence Harvey, without reaching their level of fame.

Classic Actor Li Wei Died at 86 (MonkeyPeaches Exclusive)
Chinese actor Li Wei died in Shanghai August 21. Li Wei was born in 1919 with the birth name Li Zhiyuan. In 1938, 19 year old Li Wei joined the state-run Central Motion Picture Corporation and 2 years later he starred in Chang Kong Wan Li (Expansive Sky), a film about resisting the Japanese aggression.
In 1948 he played Zhang Zhichen in Xiao Cheng Zhi Chu (Spring in a Small Town), which has been praised as the best Chinese film of all time. In 1950, a year after the Chinese Communist Party took over the country, Li played a supporting role in Wo Zhe Yi Bei Zi (This Life of Mine), which recalls the history of China in the first half of the 20th century through the eyes of a Beijing policeman.
In 1963, he took the lead in Fei Da Hua (Flying Dagger Hua), a very rare martial-film made in the mainland China during the 1960s. Like most filmmakers in the mainland China, Li was not able to play in any film during the Culture Revolution (1966 - 1976). From 1979 to 1990, Li starred in 12 movies, with all supporting roles except for Mei You Hang Biao De He Liu (The River without Navigation Marks), which heavily criticizes the Culture Revolution. In 1990, Li Wei played a supporting role in director Zhang Yimou's Ju Dou, which was his last film.
