Marrie Lee was born Doris Young on November 25, 1959 in Singapore. Marrie has an older brother named Jimmy and an older sister named Betty. Her father died when she was six and her mother passed away when she was sixteen. Lee was working as a receptionist in a Shenton Way nightclub when she was first discovered by a scouting team from Hong Kong. She played a bit role as a female detective in the film "Showdown at the Equator"After having a taste of acting, Marrie responded to a newspaper ad for a lead role in a film that read "Are you smart, sexy, and seductive?". Marrie went to the audition wearing a mini-skirt and go-go boots and won the titular starring part of a sassy'n'sultry ace martial artist and top Interpol agent in the delightfully campy Filipino action exploitation outing "Cleopatra Wong." She reprized the role of Cleopatra Wong in the movies "Dynamite Johnson" and "The Devil's Three." Lee performed her own often dangerous stunts in these pictures that included jumping through a real glass window and dangling on a rope from a helicopter without a harness or a safety net. Not surprisingly, as a direct result of doing said stunts Marrie sustained such injuries as a torn pinkie finger and a fractured left wrist. After acting in a couple more films, Lee decided to call it quits as an actress in the early 80s.Marrie started her own health-care products company in Singapore in 1989 until present day.She appeared as herself in the documentaries "The Search for Weng Weng" and "Machete Maidens Unleashed!".

Bobby spoke of his desire to do a reboot of Cleopatra Wong. He worked at his dream till Feb 2010, Bobby died of a heart attack.
