Due to her ex-husband's philandering Ut Bach Lan experienced financial woes having to support several of Thanh Duoc's children that had been born out of wedlock. In 2014, Ut Bach Lan costarred with Cat Tuong and Hieu Hien in the television mini-series, Tro Ve 3, directed by Viet Trinh. Toward the end of her life, she retired from the stage and took up residence at a temple in Ho Chi Minh City where she devoted most of her days helping the needy. Ut Bach Lan passed away on November 4, 2016 after months of illness brought on by failing health and old age. She was 81 years old.
