Bruce Lee

Although his parents were Chinese, Bruce Lee was born in the United States, during a tour of his father, who was a theater actor. Specifically, Lee Jun Fan -his real name- came into the world in a San Francisco hospital on November 27, 1940. One of the nurses at the center called him Bruce, like his father, so that the boy would have a western name.

In Hong Kong, little Bruce studied at the Colegio de San Francisco Javier, a Catholic school. From a very young age, Bruce appeared in movies and studied dance and martial arts. Since when he came of age, he was involved in too many altercations, his father sent him to the United States, where he married and founded a martial arts school. Producer William Dozier discovered him at an exhibition, and hired him to play Kato, the Japanese driver in the Green Hornet series . Although he was going to star in Kung Fu, he was eventually cast as John Carradine , a Western actor. He made the leap to the cinema when the Chinese producer Raymond Chow offered him to star in Karate to the death in Bangkok, which made Bruce Lee a celebrity in Hong Kong. She then starred in Fury of the East ,  Rage of the Dragon – with Chuck Norris – and Game with Death , which remained unfinished. The film Operación Dragón was released after his death, on July 20, 1973. After lying in bed due to an inexplicable headache, he fell into a coma and was admitted to the hospital dead.
