Who is Dy Saveth?

Dy Saveth is a renowned Cambodian actress and first Miss Cambodia. She featured several films throughout the 1960s until the communist takeover in 1975, and later from 1993 to present.

After the Khmer Rouge came to power in 1975, Dy Saveth and Huoy Keng escaped to France together and later moved to Hong Kong. There they separated while Keng continued his film business and became one of Hong Kong's first millionaires.
