Bonnie Law (September 11, 1968 – May 27, 2016) was a Hong Kong actress and singer. She was best known for her role in the 1984 Hong Kong comedic film, Happy Ghost, opposite Raymond Wong.[1] Happy Ghost marked her film debut at the age of 15.[1] Law and several of her co-stars, including Rachel Lee, May Lo and Fennie Yuen became known as the "Happy Girls" because of their roles in the comedy.[1]
