Margaret Tu Chuan (Chinese: 杜娟; pinyin: Dù Juān; January 1, 1942 - November 30, 1969, aged 27) was a Hong Kong actress.




Career


She made her first film, The Magic Touch, in 1958. The film was directed by Li Han Hsiang who discovered her at age seventeen.
She starred in movies such as When The Peach Blossoms Bloom (1959), The Kingdom And The Beauty (1959) and Madam White Snake (1962) with Betty Loh Ti and Lin Dai before her death in 1969. Diary Of A Lady-Killer (1969) was the last role she starred in before committing suicide by taking an overdose of sleeping pills with a female lover after a failed marriage. Both women left notes asking that they be buried together, but this was not done. She was 27 years old. This suicide was part of an "epidemic" that decimated female Mandarin-cinema stars (Ting Hao, Linda Lin Dai, Betty Loh Ti) at the time.
