Petrina Fung Bo Bo and Michael Lai Siu Tin yesterday attended the Hong Kong Film Archive's MERRY GO MOVIES -- STAR KIDS forum and shared their experience with the audience. Fung Bo Bo recalled that when she was a child star, she was good friends with fellow Seven Princesses Josephine Siao Fong Fong, Connie Chan Bo Chu, and Wong Oi Ming. When she made TALENTD CHILDREN GETTING ROBBERS (SUN TUNG KUM HUNG GEI) she fell for Michael Lai Siu Tin; Fung Bo Bo joked, "Lai Siu Tin at the time had an Elvis cut and was very cool, he looked like a Big Brother. He was my first love at age 6." Lai Siu Tin immediately replied, "In the movies I often rescued Bo Bo, the hero rescued the beauty."

Fung Bo Bo pointed out that her father Fung Fung also participated in TALENTED, unfortunately later his facial paralysis due to illness forced him to play villains. She said, "In the past looks were very important for actors, unlike now the uglier you are the more you can play the lead." Lai Siu Tin felt that modern actors' acting is more introverted. "Many villains are kindhearted, like Shing Fui On." Fung Bo Bo pointed out that acting used to rely on talent. Only in recent years she learned to use a computer for editing.
