IN MEMORIAM: Martial arts legend Bruce Lee died 50 years ago today.
Fans gather in front of the statue of martial artist Bruce Lee to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his death in Hong Kong, Thursday, July 20, 2023. Lee, who was born in San Francisco but raised in the Asian financial hub, was famous for his martial arts talent and his fight against racist portrayals of Asians on big and small screens in the 1960s and 70s. He died at the height of his fame due to an allergic reaction to painkillers when he was 32.
Many of Lee's supporters said his philosophy inspired them since they were young, even though many only learned about him and his works after his death. Lee eventually went back to Hong Kong and made hits like “The Big Boss” and “Fist of Fury." His last film, “Enter the Dragon,” was released six days after his death and became his most popular movie. He was one of the first Asian actors to attain Hollywood megastardom and fanned a kung fu craze that swept the world.
