ABOUT THE BOOK

A beautiful reclamation of a pioneering South Asian actress captures her glittering, complicated life and lasting impact on Hollywood.

"A deeply drawn portrait of the fascinating screen star Merle Oberon. Told with empathy and rigor, it’s also a grand tour of Hollywood’s opulence and racism through the decades. A compelling story of one woman’s struggle to make a life for herself against the odds. I could not put this book down." —Padma Lakshmi, author of Love, Loss, and What We Ate

Merle Oberon made history when she was announced as a nominee for the Best Actress Oscar in 1936. Hers was a face that “launched a thousand ships,” a so-called exotic beauty who the camera loved and fans adored. Her nomination for The Dark Angel marked the first time the Academy recognized a performer of color. Almost ninety years before actress Michelle Yeoh would triumph in the same category, Oberon, born to a South Asian mother and white father in India, broke through a racial barrier—but no one knew it. Oberon was “passing” for white.

In the first biography of Oberon (1911–1979) in more than forty years, Mayukh Sen draws on family interviews and heretofore untapped archival material to capture the exceptional life of an oft-forgotten talent.

Born into poverty, Queenie Thompson dreamt of big-screen stardom. By sheer force of will, she immigrated to London in her teens and met film mogul Alexander Korda, who christened her “Merle Oberon” and invented the story that she was born to European parents in Tasmania. Her new identity was her ticket into Hollywood. When she was only in her twenties, Oberon dazzled as Cathy in Wuthering Heights opposite Laurence Olivier. Against the backdrop of Hollywood’s racially exclusionary Golden Age and the United States’s hostile immigration policy towards South Asians in the twentieth century, Oberon rose to the highest echelons of the film-world elite, all while keeping a secret that could have destroyed her career.

Tracing Oberon’s story from her Indian roots to her final days surrounded by wealth and glamor, Sen questions the demands placed on stars in life and death. His compassionate, compelling chronicle illuminates troubling truths on race, gender, and power that still resonate today.

Liu, '91, on June 4 from 6:00-8:30 p.m. at the Tateuchi Democracy Forum, part of the Japanese American National Museum complex in Little Tokyo. This event is hosted by Stanford Club of Pasadena, co-presented by Stanford Alumni Association, Stanford Law School, and Stanford Asian Pacific American Alumni Club.

Asian Americans can feel the pressure to conform to the model minority stereotype, fight imposter syndrome, and aim to lead authentically as an "other" in the corporate world. We exist within a system where stereotypes exist and many groups are perceived as “others.” For the strongest integrated leadership, Asian Americans must find their own voice and professional path that both honors their lineage values and celebrates where they are right now. 

From her personal journey identifying as a banana in college (yellow on the outside, white on the inside) through a 22 year career as a design leader in tech and now an executive coach, Tutti Taygerly (BS, '97) moves beyond the stereotypes and shares three strategies for how Asian Americans claim their leadership and succeed in workplaces not built with them in mind.

In honor of AANHPI month, SAPAAC is sponsoring a two-part series on Asian Americans at Work. This Part 1 features TEDx speaker Tutti Taygerly’s research findings from interviews with successful Asian American professionals In Part 2, coming soon, we will feature prominent Asian American leaders in business in a panel discussion. 

Tutti Taygerly Speaker Bio

Tutti speaks on leadership and innovation bringing a unique blend of her 22 years experience in Silicon Valley and her current focus as a leadership expert. She coaches cofounders and tech leaders to embrace their unique leadership style to achieve professional impact and a sustainable company culture. She guides “others” who never felt like they belonged in a professional setting — including women, people of color, immigrants and the neurodiverse — to confidently share their voices with the world. Previously she was a design leader at design firms, startups, and large companies including Disney and Meta.

She has given two TEDx talks, spoken at SxSW, and for numerous companies including Google, Stripe, Amazon, Nordstrom, and Doordash. Tutti writes for Harvard Business Review, Business Insider, and Fast Company and her book Make Space to Lead shows high achievers how to reframe our relationship to work.  She’s currently bewitched with her second book on leading when you feel like an "other.
Tutti grew up in seven countries on three continents and is settled in San Francisco as her home base. She spends her time parenting two teen girls, obsessively reading, and paddling out for the next wave. Find her at tuttitaygerly.com

Part of our Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Events

NETWORKING + PANEL

One year ago, scientists sounded a “final warning” over our climate emergency: rising greenhouse gas emissions are pushing our global environment toward irrevocable damage, requiring decisive action.

To change this trajectory, our planet needs leaders in different sectors—energy, finance, technology, design, policy, and many more—to work together to collectively move the needle on climate. Yet Asian American professionals remain underrepresented in environmental science and allied fields of sustainability.

What areas of sustainability are in greatest need of vision and leadership? How can you build the business case for new climate solutions within your corporation? Can Asian Americans step up as climate leaders, whatever your profession?

Whether you are a recent graduate or an established professional interested in amplifying your climate impact, join SAPAAC as we convene sustainability professionals for an engaging discussion and networking during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

Panelists:
Andrew Chang, Managing Director, Activate New York, former Department of Energy
Melissa Zhang, Melissa Zhang, Energy Transition Investor, Azimuth Capital Management, former founder & BlackRock 
Kevin Hsu, Co-Author of Renewable and Efficient Electric Power Systems, former sustainability scientist at Walt Disney Imagineering
Josephine Lau, SAPAAC Board Member (moderator)

Date: Monday 5/20/2024
Time: 7-9 PM
Location: Stanford Center in NYC
