Nancy remains one of the most vibrant and beloved senior figures in Hong Kong's entertainment industry. A living legend and a beloved senior figure in Hong Kong showbiz. The title "姐" (older sister) is a term of great respect. Known for her cheerful, kind, and sometimes comically dramatic personality. Her signature phrase "Ye~~" (吔) and her heart-shaped hand gesture are widely recognized.
Active since the late 1950s as a child actress, with a career spanning over six decades.
She is most famously known for her starring role in the classic 1997 TVB sitcom "A Kindred Spirit" (真情), where she played the matriarch "Good Sister Shun" (好姨). This role made her a household name across Guangdong and among Cantonese-speaking communities worldwide.
She is also a renowned host, most notably for the long-running TVB variety show "Enjoy Yourself Tonight" (歡樂今宵).
She continues to host television shows, appear in dramas, perform at concerts, and participate in major public events and variety programs.
She maintains good health and high energy. In 2024, she even held a large-scale concert in Hong Kong to celebrate her decades-long career.
She is frequently seen on TVB, in commercials, and at public functions. She is also active on social media, interacting with fans.
There is no known official film or television collaboration between Nancy Sit (薛家燕) and Barbara Yung (翁美玲) where they shared a scene or worked on the same project as cast members. It is most likely that Barbara Yung and Nancy Sit have met on the set of "Enjoy Yourself Tonight." (EYT). The rising star (Barbara) and the established senior host (Nancy) probably would have crossed paths, been introduced, and interacted backstage at EYT during this period.
