7. Shirley Temple

( April 23, 1928 – February 10, 2014)
When Chinese audiences saw this adorable child star for the first time on screen, Shirley Temple had already lived for more than half a century. In her movies, she was always alone or in trouble, but this adorable little blonde, who smiled with dimples, could always resolve anything with her kindness, push away the fogginess and bring about light. The brand "Shirley Temple" was a product of the Great Depression. People watched her act to forget their hardships as Temple entertained the poor, the rich, adults and children alike. Several decades later, when her films were screened in China, the effects were the same. Whenever she was around, people forgot about their troubles. We hope she will forget all of her troubles as she rests in peace

8. Audrey Hepburn

( May 4, 1929 – January 20, 1993)
She will forever be the princess in Chinese people's hearts. Even to this day, tourists flock to Rome to visit the Mouth of Truth with their lovers and eat ice cream on the Spanish Steps. Her sense of style seems to never go out of style. Her kindness and philanthropy works are carried on by today's actresses. When she was alive, she was living perfection. Even after her death, she has remained an icon. That's something that only Audrey Hepburn is capable of.

9. Momoe Yamaguchi

In the later part of the 1970’s, there was a star that Chinese youth and their parents both liked – Momoe Yamaguchi. She fit well with the Confucian teachings of Chinese culture: reserved, filial and traditional. She stepped off the stage at the peak of her career and married her lover both on- and off-screen, Tomokazu Miura. She has since remained out of the spotlight and devotes her time to her family. She may have disappeared from the center stage, but her voice remains.

10. Vivien Leigh

( November 5, 1913 – June 8, 1967)
China is the country most heavily influenced by the film and novel Gone with the Wind. In Shanghai suring the 1940's, a city that was most modern and stylish in China at the time, Gone with the Wind was a work that everyone talked about. In the late 1980's, the film swept China again. Leigh's portrait of Scarlett O'Hara was seen as sustenance to most Chinese women's secret fantasies. Leigh's "cat-like" face spoke of desire and a strong self, different from Monroe's out-in-the-open sexiness. Her portrait of heroines on screen reflect her character well, and perhaps that's why she can always struck and break people's hearts.
