DAME KIEU CHINH NGUYEN We are grateful to have our guest, Dame Kieu Chinh on this YOLK podcast and I had the immense pleasure to interview her. In her career spanning over sixty years from 1957 to the present, Ms. Nguyen has received many accolades including an Emmy Award in 1996. On of her most renown roles is in The Joy Luck Club as Suyuan Woo, mother to Ming-Na Wen's character (1993). In the 1960s, in addition to Vietnamese films, she also appeared in several American productions including A Yank in Vietnam (1964) and Operation C.I.A. (1965), the latter opposite Burt Reynolds. Ms. Nguyen also produced a war epic Faceless Lover (or Warrior, Who Are You) (1971), which later would be remastered and shown in the U.S. at the 2003 Vietnamese National Film Festival. Also the famous episodes in MASH where she played a Korean love interest for Alan Alda's Hawkeye character. In 2005, Ms. Nguyen starred in Journey From the Fall, a film tracing a Vietnamese family through the aftermath of the fall of Saigon, the re-education camp, the boat people tragedy, and the initial difficulties of settling in the U.S. In 2016, she returned to Vietnam to inaugurate the 50th school which was built in Hanoi under the Vietnam Children's Fund where she is President and Co-Chair. She is an avid advocate for the Vietnamese American active duties and our Veterans. In 2021, she released her memoir Kieu Chinh An Artist in Exile. Currently you can watch her on MAX, The Sympathizer series co-starring Robert Downey Jr., Sandra Oh, and Hoa Xuande. I recommend you all read her book or google her, this bio is too abbreviated and does not represent her intriguing life and work fully.
