"In a wonderful interview that Thomas did with Chao Li and that is included in one of his Newsletter
Chao told the following
In the beginning, Earl invited every actor to write a biography for his character. Then Earl developed the relationships
Obviously, Chao-Li's father was supposed to have done all the work there for the Giobertis. “And I [the character] grew up with Jane Wyman [Angela],” Chao-Li continued. “So I grew up serving her, but I was younger than her. And growing up here, I thought she was like an older sister and she protected me. That justifies Chao-Li's devotion. It was not because she was serving in this house, but we grew up together… ”, he explained. So they had a very special relationship despite being from different classes. As much as he cared for her, she cared for him."
Chao was ten years younger than Jane but on screen they looked the same age
Do you remember that at some point it was remembered that you grew up and played together?
More than childhood friends from my point of view, they were always the lady and the butler
