Nancy Kwan
I was reading this article about Vidal Sassoon today, which was accompanied in the print edition by a famous photo of his revolutionary assymetric bob haircut. In my ignorance, I had never actually realised that the beauty modelling said hairstyle was none other than the Anglo-Chinese superstar Nancy Kwan. This revelation prompted me to investigate further her fascinating life and career.
N.B. to watch the whole Nancy Kwan vs. Sharon Tate showdown (from the fairly tiresome 1968 film The Wrecking Crew) go here. It’s about 4 minutes in.
I love the videos, very informative post, nancy kwan is great.
Nancy Kwan is interviewed in the documentary ‘Hollywood Chinese’ about her career in Hollywood. See:

It’s an excellent film.
Tarantino needs to cast Nancy Kwan in a movie now surely?
Thanks for the comments guys. I’m really desperate to see Hollywood Chinese, sounds fascinating!
