A bit of History - Jackie's Stamps 1997

Hong Kong's most beloved film star, Action Hero and stuntman Jackie Chan was honored at the Hong Kong '97 Postal Expo with the issuance of a stamp sheet in his honor. Seen here is the ceremony and Chan's authograph session along with assorted news footage from around the world. Also shown is the postal sequel for Jackie Chan in January of 1999.


Very interesting bit of information in the clip - Jackie was only the third living film star to get honoured on a stamp. Barbara Streisand and Sylvester Stalone were 1 and 2 respectively.
