A unique charity dinner was held last night at the Island Room of the Shangri-La Hotel, where six Hong Kong television artists, including Yam Tat-wah, Miu Kiu-wai, Tong, Tong Chun-chung, Ka-lun and Ding Makado, acted as fashion models to showcase a range of men's clothing on stage.
International martial arts superstar Jackie Chan was invited to be the guest of honour at the gala dinner and to officiate at the auction of the items later.
Organised by MALE VIEW magazine, the gala dinner was attended by over 70 guests and the total proceeds were donated to the Singapore Community Chest.

It made no difference whether Jackie Chan spoke about Barbara or not. In fact, Jackie Chan appeared in several photos with Barbara, Kent, and her mother, and his wife, Joan Lin, was also photographed with Barbara on a few occasions. Barbara had already risen to fame on her own merit and exceptional acting talent. She was one of the fastest actresses to gain widespread recognition, and she did not need any endorsement from him. By the 1980s, she was regarded as an elite actress. Truly, she was a phenomenal performer—and she continues to be recognized and admired to this day.

Thanks for the research and clearing things up Rob , I guess that Jackie only knew Barbara through promotional and charity events …
They also never starred together in films / series

This is what ChatGTP says:

There’s no known documented instance where Jackie Chan (成龍) has publicly mentioned Barbara Yung (翁美玲) in interviews, autobiographies, or other recorded statements. Searches through available English and Chinese sources do not find any credible quote, interview excerpt, or reliable record in which Jackie Chan talks about Barbara Yung by name.

Summary

There’s no credible documented evidence that Jackie Chan ever publicly spoke about Barbara Yung — either praising her, remembering her, or otherwise referencing her — in interviews or other primary sources available to date.

I was wondering if they ever crossed paths. I wonder what Jacky's memories of Barbara are today?
