伍锦霞，祖籍广东台山，是活跃在二十世纪三十年代至五十年代活跃在香港和好莱坞华人女导演累计参与制作了11部电影，在香港拍了5部粤语片，在美国执导了6部华语片，获得了相当高的评价。伍锦霞特立特行，毕生短髮男装打扮，大家皆以“霞哥”相称。从华人电影导演到纽约中餐厅老板，她的人生堪称是一个传奇......
Hong Kong’s first “directress” was a San Francisco native and an open lesbian. Esther Eng (1914-1970) was a true pioneer in many senses. She made 11 Cantonese language films—one in Hollywood, five in Hong Kong, three in California, one in Hawaii, and one in New York—all for Chinese audiences before, during and after WWII. She gave Bruce Lee his screen debut in his role as a baby girl in her 1941 film Golden Gate Girl. When production slowed in the 30s and 40s, she helped her father with his Chinese film import business and, later, ran theatres in New York that screened Chinese movies. While in New York City, she also opened at least four restaurants, including the Esther Eng Restaurant, a fine dining establishment frequented by celebrities like Malone Brando and Tennessee Williams. Following her death in 1970, her obituary appeared in both Variety magazine and the New York Times.
