  • The second major Asian actress to become a star in Hollywood after Anna May Wong, she was a tremendous success opposite William Shatner in the title role of a prostitute in "The World of Suzie Wong" on Broadway in 1958. She had to learn her lines phonetically. She began shooting the film version when she was suddenly replaced by producer Ray Stark by Nancy Kwan.
  • Bitterly complained that director Amy Tan cut her best scene in The Joy Luck Club (1993) and took all known actresses off advertising in order to draw all attention to herself when promoting the film.
  • Surprisingly, the 50th anniversary celebration of South Pacific (1958) did not include her. She played the role of Liat in the 1958 film.
  • Married and divorced twice. Her second husband was Robert Culp, whom she met while appearing on his "I Spy" (1965) TV series. Her first was a psychiatrist with whom she had a daughter, Fleur.
