Meet the Asian stars taking Hollywood by storm
The impact of Asian actors and filmmakers, and actors and filmmakers of Asian descent, has never been so prominent. With no fewer than four Asian actors nominated for prestigious Academy Awards and even more for behind-the-camera recognition, the gifts that different perspectives can bring are as clear as ever. Of course though, this isn’t the first time that Asians and people of Asian descent have made their mark on the world of Hollywood. ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ cast ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ appears to have won everything at every award show all at once, capping off an incredible season by making history at the Academy Awards in 2023 and becoming the most-awarded Best Picture winner since 2008’s ‘Slumdog Millionaire.’ In addition to Best Picture, the Asian-led film picked up Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh—who was the first Asian person to ever win the award—Best Supporting Actor for Ke…

Tina Turner, the unstoppable singer and stage performer who teamed with husband Ike Turner for a dynamic run of hit records and live shows in the 1960s and ‘70s and survived her horrifying marriage to triumph in middle age with the chart-topping “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” has died at 83. Turner died Tuesday, after a long illness in her home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland, according to her manager.
