Yammie Lam
Yammie Lam Kit-ying (27 April 1963 – 31 October 2018), also known as Yammie Nam, was a Hong Kong actress and most notable for her performances in TVB drama series The Greed of Man and Looking Back In Anger, as well as in the film series A Chinese Odyssey. Lam was found dead in her apartment at Leung Ma House (Ma Hang Estate) in Stanley, Hong Kong, on 31 October 2018.
Lam first joined TVB in 1983, graduating from the TVB actor training class a year later along with fellow actress Margie Tsang. She was cast in a number of movies as well as TVB serials, soon becoming well known as one of the TVB's Five Beauties. She was called "the most beautiful on the five-station hill" (靚絕五台山).
In 1991, Lam played the leading female role in a Taiwanese TV series. Taiwanese actress Di Ying, who was also a member of the same series, disliked Lam. Once, Di waited for Lam in a hotel lobby and kicked her in the stomach so hard that Lam stumbled far away backwards on the floor. Lam never worked with Taiwanese companies again. Di later vividly described her assault on Lam on a Taiwanese variety show with no regret, calling her "Lam the big shot" (藍大牌), long after Lam's retirement.
In 1993, Yammie Lam won Top 10 TV Actors/Actresses at the Next TV Awards for her performance in a 1992 TV series The Greed of Man.
She was in a relationship with a Hong Kong indigenous villager Johnny Tang (鄧啟揚), but Tang committed suicide on May 25, 1986, which greatly shocked her. From November 1986 to 1987, she had a relationship with Peter Cheng Kar-shing (郑家成), a son of Hong Kong billionaire Cheng Yu-tung, but they eventually broke up.
In 1995 and 1997, Lam's parents died in succession. She broke up with her boyfriend afterwards. In September 1998, she got into a car accident. In December 1998, it was suspected that she was raped by Eric Tsang during Tsang's film production in Singapore. She had suffered from depression from April 1999 till her death. Her stage career was completely shattered by then despite her showing up in a few TV serials or movies afterwards.
Declared bankrupt in 2006, Lam subsequently lived on government welfare of HK$3,700 per month.
In March 2013, Lam was baptised as a Catholic at St. Anne's Church in Stanley and was given the Christian name Maria.
