Lee Yuen Kam, later known as Bruce Lee, is born in San Francisco. Lee spent much of his childhood in Hong Kong, where he appeared in several films. After graduating from the University of Washington, Lee returned to film, starring in numerous martial arts films, many of which were filmed in Hong Kong. Lee died mysteriously of a brain edema at age 32. Twenty years later, his son, action-film actor Brandon Lee, died when a gun supposedly containing blanks fired a real bullet instead during the shooting of a movie.
