Ep 171 Trailblazer Nancy Kwan Reflects on 'The World of Suzie Wong' and Changing Hollywood
Manage episode 478528999 series 2943726
Nancy Kwan was one of the first Asian Hollywood stars I can remember seeing. She broke out in the hit movies "The World of Suzie Wong" and "Flower Drum Song" in the 1960s. Over the next several decades, Nancy worked in front and behind the camera in over 50 productions.
It was a real pleasure to speak with Nancy, she is as charming and lovely as ever. I really think you'll enjoy hearing from her. You can learn more about her interesting life in her new memoir, The World of Nancy Kwan, available everywhere. Get a copy for yourself and perhaps your parents, too!
You can hear our episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
