THE WORLD OF NANCY KWAN A Memoir by Hollywood's Asian Superstar

by | Read by Nancy Kwan, Kevin Kwan [Fore.]

Biography & Memoir • 8.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2025

Nancy Kwan, the trailblazing Eurasian actress, dancer, and singer, narrates her life story in an appealing manner. The preface, narrated by her cousin Kevin Kwan sets the tone and provides an overview of the woman who was a 1960s sex symbol in movies and in Broadway productions such as FLOWER DRUM SONG. Kwan tells stories of living internationally and her marriages, the final one still strong after many years. She speaks hauntingly and with painful acceptance of the death of her son Bernard in his early 30s from HIV. The narrative speaks volumes regarding Hollywood's and America's prejudice against Asians. This audiobook is a beautiful entry from a sensitive and delightful talent. Listeners will be moved. W.A.G. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2025]
