Now 66 years old, actress Dy Saveth still retains much of the charm that made her one of the greats of Cambodia’s Golden Age of cinema.
The film star, who won her first beauty pageant in 1959, told “Hello VOA” Thursday she had no idea how to act when she got started—but once she began she was determined to succeed.
She first starred in “Raft Life” in 1962 and went on to be featured in more than 100 films, although she said she lost count after the Khmer Rouge rose to power.
