Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - '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.'.
