李綺年(Lee Yi Nin),本名李楚卿,1912年出生,1950年離世,係1930至40年代嘅粵語片演員。佢自小視阮玲玉為偶像,十九歲時由香港去上海聯華公司投考演員不果。1934年,佢到大觀聲片有限公司應徵,被視為可造之材,簽下三年合約;翌年完成銀幕處女作《昨日之歌》(1935),一炮而紅。接着佢再為大觀演出《殘歌》(1935)、《摩登新娘》(1935)、《山東響馬》(1936)、《風流小姐》(1936)同《人言可畏》(1936)等片,其中同吳楚帆合演嘅愛國電影《生命線》(1935),為佢贏得「愛國影后」之譽。與大觀約滿後,佢曾同南洋、天一等公司合作,拍成《女性之光》(1937)、《自梳女》(1937)、《女戰士》(1938)、《叱咤風雲》(1938)、《夜光杯》(1939)同《千金一笑》(1940)等片,有「南國影后」之稱。1940年,佢應上海藝華影業公司之邀赴滬,拍攝《女皇帝》(1940)、《梁紅玉》(1940)同《現代青年》(1941)等片,反應未如理想,未幾結婚息影。戰後佢重返香港影壇,參演《花香襯馬蹄》(1948)、《風流女賊》(1948)同《賣肉救家姑》(1949)等片。1950年,佢組織「綺光」旅行劇團往東南亞巡迴演出,同年11月4日在越南海防演出後自殺身亡,終年三十八歲。佢嘅演藝生涯橫跨默片末期至戰後,足跡遍及香港、上海同東南亞。《昨日之歌》由大觀出品,係當時賣座嘅粵語有聲片;佢亦憑「南國影后」之名,同當時一眾粵語片女星並列。1950年佢自組劇團赴東南亞,反映戰後影人另謀出路嘅情况。

Lee Yi Nin (1912–1950), born Lee Chor-hing, was a Cantonese film actress of the 1930s and 1940s. She idolised Ruan Lingyu and, at nineteen, travelled from Hong Kong to Shanghai to audition for the Lianhua company without success. In 1934 she applied to the Grandview Film Company, was judged promising and signed a three-year contract; her screen debut the following year, a 1935 talkie, was a great success. She went on to appear for Grandview in The Lingering Song (1935), The Modern Bride (1935), The Shandong Robber (1936), The Flirtatious Miss (1936) and Gossip Is a Fearful Thing (1936), while a 1935 patriotic film opposite Ng Cho-fan earned her the nickname 'patriotic film queen'. After her Grandview contract ended she worked with the Nanyang and Tianyi companies on films released in the late 1930s and 1940, gaining the title 'queen of southern cinema'. In 1940 she was invited to Shanghai by the Yihua Film Company and made several Mandarin films there, including The Empress (1940) and Liang Hongyu (1940), but their reception fell short of expectations and she soon married and retired from acting. After the war she returned to Hong Kong cinema with a handful of films in 1948–49. In 1950 she formed the Qi Guang touring company and went on a performance tour of Southeast Asia; on 4 November that year she took her own life in Haiphong, Vietnam, aged thirty-eight.
