Veteran actor Joan Chen (The Last Emperor, Twin Peaks) has entered a new phase of her career, earning acclaim for her recent performances in the drama Dìdi and the comedy The Wedding Banquet. In her latest film, Montréal, ma belle, she plays an immigrant woman who represses her sexuality for the sake of her husband and children. Joan joins guest host Garvia Bailey to tell us what drew her to the role, what it was like being “discovered” during the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and how she feels about media outlets declaring a “Joan Chen renaissance.”
