An award-winning movie actor and founding member of a local trade union for actors died Sunday at his Taipei home at the age of 92. Ke Hsiang-ting's family said his health had been deteriorating in recent days and his children were at his bedside when he passed away. Ke was born in 1917 in eastern China's Jiangsu Province. He joined the military, where he began his acting career, serving in the entertainment corps after arriving in Taiwan with the army. He later began getting parts in movies and was in the business for more than six decades. He won a Golden Horse award in 1965 as best leading actor for his role in 'Beautiful Duckling' and another in 1970 for 'The Evergreen Mountains.' He also received a Golden Horse lifetime achievement award in 2005. Besides his work in front of the camera, he also worked hard to improve the welfare of those employed in the entertainment business, and in 1978, founded the Actor's Union of the Republic of China, Taiwan's first actors union, which he also headed. Li Hsing, a film director and an old friend of Ke, said later that day that he plans to present a film festival of Ke's works in cooperation with the Chinese Taipei Film Archive, Taiwan's national film center, to commemorate his contributions to Taiwanese film industry.
