Su Muy Key (1929–1951) was a Mexican film actress and dancer of Chinese descent who was active during the Golden age of Mexican cinema. She was one of the first strippers in the history of Mexican cinema. She was nicknamed "Muñequita China" ("Chinese Doll").
She was sister of the businesswoman and actress Margo Su, (owner of the Teatro Blanquita, an important popular show center in Mexico City). She was one of the first strippers in the Mexican Cinema, but her most important success was in the night clubs, where she was a queen with other dancers like Kalantán, Bongala and Tongolele. Her most famous act was to paint her body and remain as motionless as a statue. Later, she did oriental dance.
She starred in some Mexican films like La Bandida (1948, alongside the Cuban star Rosa Carmina) and Especialista en señoras (1951).
Su Muy Key was murdered under mysterious circumstances together with her boyfriend, the businessman Roberto Serna, when her film career was just beginning.
