It's been 50 years since pop culture icon Bruce Lee died, and one super fan is hoping people remember him for more than just what he accomplished on the big screen.
SAN FRANCISCO - It's been 50 years since Bruce Lee died, and one super fan is hoping people remember him for more than just what he accomplished on the big screen.
For the 50th anniversary of his death, admission to the San Francisco's Chinese Historical Society of America Museum will be free — an idea that came from Bruce Lee super fan Jeff Chinn. "I don't take things like these lightly. In fact, I consider this a big responsibility for me to tell Bruce's story, to keep his memory alive," said Chinn."He was very multi-layered. He was a teacher, philosopher, dancer."
"It's amazing to see that he's very prominent … even now. Even with everything going on in the world nowadays people still believe in him and his theories and his efforts," said Quilici.
