On a day like today, Bruce Lee was born, who became a world star in a very short time and was an expert in martial arts. On November 27, 1940, actor and martial arts expert Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco, California.
In his very short career, Lee became a movie star in Asia and later a pop culture icon in the United States. Li was born while her father, a Chinese opera star, was on tour in the United States. In 1941, the Lee family returned to Hong Kong. Growing up, Li became a child actor and appeared in nearly 20 Chinese films.
The martial art Kung Fu comes to the fore
Bruce Lee also studied dance and trained in the Wing Chun style of Gung Fu (also known as Kung Fu). In 1959, Lee returned to the United States. Here he eventually attended the University of Washington and opened a martial arts school in Seattle. In 1964 he married Linda Emery. She gave birth to Brandon Lee in 1965, the first of the couple’s two children.
Bruce Lee returned to Los Angeles in 1966
Lee moved to Los Angeles in 1966 and Bruce appeared on the television show The Green Hornet (1966-1967). In it he played the role of Hornet’s acrobatic partner, Kato. Lee also appeared in karate tournaments in the United States and continued teaching the martial art to private clients, including actor Steve McQueen.
He had returned to Hong Kong after failing to get a better job in Hollywood.
Lee returned to Hong Kong in the early 1970s in search of better acting roles than those available in Hollywood. He successfully established himself as a star in Asia with the action films The Big Boss (1971) and The Way of the Dragon (1972). He wrote, directed and acted in it himself. Lee’s next film, Enter the Dragon, was released in the United States by the Hollywood studio Warner Bros. in August 1973.
He died at the age of 32 in Hong Kong.
Tragically, Lee died in Hong Kong a month earlier, on July 20. Lee is said to have died due to an adverse reaction to a painkiller. Enter the Dragon was a box office success. It eventually grossed more than $200 million and Lee posthumously became a film icon in the United States.

Young Lee was also buried next to his father in Seattle’s Lake View Cemetery.
