TVC 649.3: Ed welcomes trailblazing actress, author, and designed Irene Tsu (Flower Drum Song, Paradise Hawaiian Style, Take Her She’s Mine, The Green Berets, Caprice, How to Stuff a Wild Bikini, Down and Out in Beverly Hills). Irene not only worked steadily in movies and television for more than four decades, but in many instances broke ground for other Asian-American by playing characters that were originally written for other ethnicities (her role opposite Doris Day and Ray Walston in Caprice being one such example). Irene’s memoir, A Walter Color Dream: The Many Lives of Irene Tsu, is available through Bear Manor Media, Amazon.com, and IreneTsu-Entertainment.com. Topics this segment include the important role that film critic Tom Stempel, one of Irene’s professors at City College of Los Angeles, played in encouraging her to write her memoir; what first sparked Irene’s interest in water color painting; and why many other actors turn to painting and sketch drawing in between their movie and TV projects.
