Dinh Tri talked about the valuable documents he accidentally found. It was a newspaper published in 1964, the very year People's Artist Le Thuy won the Thanh Tam award, discovered by Dinh Tri while looking to buy old books and newspapers.
That year, two artists won the Thanh Tam award, Thanh Sang and Le Thuy. The special thing that the article emphasized was that the two "golden faces" who won the award were both supporting roles in the play.
Artist Le Thuy won the award for her role as maid To Tam in the play Luong Son Ba - Chuc Anh Dai .
Thanh Sang scored points with the character of blind old man Ta Ton in the play The Dragon Saber .
The article wrote: "The two "golden" roles that brought the two young artists up the ladder of honor were two unexpected roles: one as a blind old man, one as a maid disguised as a man, not the role of a handsome male lead or the number 1 female lead.
That is to say, the potential abilities are revealed by the nature of the role, not just the main character or the main actor as most people often misunderstand.
The article also emphasized that talented artists are not afraid of roles, but are only afraid of not performing properly, not highlighting the spirit and psychology of the role they are playing.
"That is also a specific lesson for actors who only know how to focus on and choose the main roles, the charming and beautiful... to have a "good reputation" on the program but often criticize the old roles, the secondary female servants..." - the article concluded.

Youngest artist to receive Thanh Tam award
Thanh Tam Award is considered the most prestigious cai luong award before 1975. The award selection committee consists of prestigious journalists, playwrights, etc. of the cai luong community. During the year, they will automatically go to see cai luong plays at the troupes, from which they will vote for the best artists and plays of the year.
During its existence of about 10 years, the award has truly chosen the right person to entrust the gold to. Most of the artists who received the award later were famous artists of cai luong such as Thanh Nga, Lan Chi, Hung Minh, Bich Son, Ngoc Giau, Thanh Thanh Hoa, Ngoc Huong, Anh Hong, Diep Lang, Bach Tuyet, Mong Tuyen, Tan Tai, My Chau...
Le Thuy's case is quite special because she is considered the youngest artist to receive the award. When she received the award, she was only 16 years old. As a young actress, she was promoted by producer Kim Chung to sing with senior artist Thanh Hai at the Kim Chung 3 troupe.
Le Thuy's highly regarded role was only a supporting role. That made fans admire Le Thuy even more. Because when she became famous and became a leading actress, there were plays where Le Thuy did not hesitate to step back.
However, with her ability, she made the supporting characters come alive and not be inferior to the female lead. We can mention roles such as Que Minh, Tue Khuong, Mai Dinh, Kim Anh, Dieu...
Watching Half a Life of Fragrance , who wouldn't "love" Le Thuy's cute but very cute Dieu? The role of Kim Anh in Luu's Life only appeared in a few scenes, but people will always remember Le Thuy's gentle, adorable, humorous, and emotional transformation.
Still remember in the play Loi Vu , Le Thuy shared with Tuoi Tre Online that she played the character Lo Tu Phuong, a supporting role in the play. However, the playwright had to add more songs for Le Thuy to show off her beautiful voice.
With both good singing and emotional acting, Le Thuy's Lu Tu Phuong continues to be an unforgettable role for the audience in Loi Vu .
From the case of Le Thuy, once again it proves that with her talent, artists can shine in any type of role, not just the privilege of the main role.
