'Love, Queenie' chronicles life of actress Merle Oberon

Season 2025 Episode 112 | 6m 53s

As the first Asian, and only South Asian, to be nominated for a Best Actress Oscar, Merle Oberon’s place in the pantheon of cinema is historic. But it came with enormous sacrifice as Oberon had to hide her race to stay working. Amna Nawaz sat down with writer Mayukh Sen to discuss "Love, Queenie," a new book on Oberon’s rise to fame, her groundbreaking career and eventual fade from the spotlight.
