A star is born Anita features songs such as Debts of the Heart, Lady and The Song of Sunset, which were hits in their day, and have, ever since Mui's passing, become karaoke staples. Wong said performing these numbers has a special resonance for her, now that she is around the same age as when Mui was at the peak of her powers. "But I feel very lucky to have been able to play this role, and through the help of everyone who taught me how to act, sing and perform I was able to train myself and really become Anita," she adds.
