Police have apprehended an individual in connection with the damage to the gravestone of the late actress Linda Lin Dai. The gravestone, located at St Michael's Catholic Cemetery in Happy Valley, had previously been found with its marble altar covered in cement. The cemetery's office informed the South China Morning Post that the matter had been reported to the police, and the suspect had been charged.
The SCMP has sought further comment from the police. Lin Dai, a prominent film star in Hong Kong, took her own life in 1964 at the age of 29, leaving fans and the industry in shock. Dubbed the "Elizabeth Taylor of the East," she had won the Best Actress award at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival four times. In 2008, Lin's son decided to donate her personal belongings, film memorabilia, and items that depicted the star's life in the 1950s and 1960s to the government for exhibition, prior to the renovation of her former residence.
