A Hollywood icon and Asian superstar shares the inspiring story of her groundbreaking career.

When Nancy Kwan burst onto the scene in the early 1960s, Asian characters in film were portrayed by white actors in makeup playing “yellowface,” and those minor roles were the stuff of cliché: shopkeepers, maids, prostitutes, servants. When—against all odds—Nancy landed the lead role in the much-anticipated 1960 film The World of Suzie Wong, she became an international superstar and was celebrated for her beauty, grace, authenticity, and spunk: a “Chinese Garbo,” the “Asian Bardot.” From Hong Kong to London, Hollywood and beyond, The World of Nancy Kwan charts Nancy’s journey. The obstacles she faced, the prejudices she overcame, and how her success created paths for others.

Never allowing show business to change her, Kwan persevered in an industry where everything was stacked against her, breaking through barriers and becoming a beacon of hope to generations of Asians who aspired to be seen. The World of Nancy Kwan is a multi-faceted personal history of an iconic actress whose triumphant rise and resilience illuminates the broader history of Hollywood and how the only way forward is to stay true to oneself.

Thank you for a fascinating listen. Nancy’ an outstanding woman who I remember from movies when I was a little girl. She has led an incredible life and has done so much for so many so selflessly. Definitely listen!

This came up as a surprise as I was re-listening to one of Kevin Quan‘s wonderful books. I didn’t know they were related until I started putting two and two together. I’m glad he collaborated with her. I wish you all the best, Nancy.

Fascinating woman, actor and mom
