Bruce Lee's relationship with Betty Ting gets published

15 Jul - A new tell-all book about late action star Bruce Lee will reveal secrets about his romance with former Taiwanese actress Betty Ting Pei, according to Focus Taiwan.
The new book, entitled "The Old Days of Bruce Lee and Me: Half a Lifetime of Practice, a Lifelong Memory", reportedly is a collection of an interview with the actress herself.
It is scheduled to go on sale in China beginning 20 July, the same date with the actor's 42nd anniversary of passing, though no information has been revealed about an international edition.
Bruce Lee passed away in 1973 in Betty's residence in Hong Kong after a dinner meeting with producer Raymond Chow about the making of the film, "Game of Death".
Betty had since been linked to his death, after she was revealed to have given him an analgesic, Equagesic, which contains the tranquilizer meprobamate. Chow later alleged that Bruce died due to an allergic reaction to the tranquilizer, and doctors ruled it as 'death by misadventure'.

With the approaching of the 42nd anniversary of the death of late action movie actor Bruce Lee, a new book that will reveal secrets to his romance with a former Taiwanese actress Betty Ting Pei, is scheduled to go on sale in China beginning on July 20, according to a report published recently by a China-based daily.

The content of the new book, entitled The Old Days of Bruce Lee and Me: Half a Lifetime of Practice, a Lifelong Memory, is based on an oral account by Ting, reports the Huaxi Urban Daily.

The well-known Hong Kong-American martial art star died at age of 32 on July 20, 1973 at Ting's residence in the former British colony, leaving the former Taiwanese actress in the center of a string of rumors.

On July 20, 1973, Lee was in Hong Kong, to have dinner with James Bond star George Lazenby, with whom he intended to make a film. According to Lee's wife Linda, Lee met producer Raymond Chow at 2 pm at home to discuss the making of the film Game of Death. They worked until 4 pm and then drove together to the home of Lee's colleague Betty Ting Pei, a Taiwanese actress. The three went over the script at Ting's home, and then Chow left to attend a dinner meeting. Around the time of Lee's death, numerous rumors appeared in the media.
