Article: Athena pushed off a building? Date: 18 February 1998 Source: HK newspapers
As we all know, Athena is petite in size and the dream girl of many a hot-blooded male. In her new show Speaking in the Dead of the Night ( 夜半無人私語時 ), Athena's co-star, Lau Ching Wan ( 劉青雲 ) is much taller than her and inorder to make up for the difference, she has to wear 2-inch heels as well as stand on another 2 boards. Asked if she feels inferior because of her height, Athena answers that she does not mind at all as "adding" height during filming is an extremely common thing. In the show, Athena has a scene where she is required to jump down from a building. So far, it is uncertain whether she will have to do it herself or there will be a stunt double. If in the end, she is required to do so, Athena will do it but not before praying fervently for her own safety. In the past, she has also done a dangerous scene in which the back of her head smashes into a glass panel and luckily for her, the scene was filmed without a hitch. Athena admits that accidents are hard to predict and she remembers when she just started acting, she injured her finger while filming Super Woman Cop ( 超級女警 ) and this prompted her to buy insurance for herself with the beneficiary being her mother of course. Let's all hope that Athena stays safe and accident-free in her still-long-to-go movie career..:-)
