Biography |
Born in France to Eurasian parents, actress France Nuyen made her screen bow as Liat in the 1958 film version of South Pacific. Her gamine image didn't last long, however; later in 1958 she starred as the been-around heroine of the Broadway play The World of Suzie Wong. In 1960, she appeared in a recurring role on the American TV series Hong Kong, and some 25 years later could be seen on the weekly hospital drama St. Elsewhere. In the late '60s, France Nuyen was briefly the wife of actor Robert Culp. |

- 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.
- Surprisingly, the 50th anniversary celebration of South Pacific (1958) did not include her. She played the role of Liat in the 1958 film.
- 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.
- 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.
