Kim Ngoc, a famous actress and an iconic standup comedian for decades, passed away at 11:30 am Sunday at the age of 68 after a sudden stroke at her private house in Ho Chi Minh City.
Kim Ngoc was born into a poor family selling pig meats in a market in District 2. When she was young, she had to work hard to help her mother bring up 14 siblings.
She started her career as a Cai Luong (reformed theatre) singer and was nicknamed “fiend Kim Ngoc” for her brilliant talent.
As Cai Luong has not become much popular in the country’s showbiz, Kim Ngoc along with her son - comedian and actor Hieu Hien - set up a “Mother and child” comedy team to perform on stages across the country.
They have won the audience’s heart through plays like “Hoa hau vu tru” (Miss Universe), Bà ngoại thời @” (Grandmother of @ era), “Câu chuyện cái tivi” (A story of a Television), and some others.
Although she had witnessed ups and downs in life, she had a deep passion for arts and always tried her best to perform great performances, bringing happiness and smiles to the audience. She was loved by her colleagues, neighbors and fans thanks to her kindness, enthusiasm, and humor.
Kim Ngoc’s funeral will be held at his private house at C9/4B10 Pham Hung Street, Binh Hung Ward, Binh Chanh District. She will be buried at the Linh Son Tu Pagoda in District 9, Ho Chi Minh City at 6:00 pm on January 21.
