#AmWatching THAT UNCERTAIN FEELING (1941) directed by #ErnstLubitsch w/ #MelvynDouglas #MerleOberon #BurgessMeredith.
Not his best work but I thought I'd give it another try. I do remember Burgess is quite funny.

Who knew? (Well, obviously somebody did -- but not me)

The Hollywood Reporter tweeted that #MichelleYeoh
"made history as the first person who identifies as Asian to ever be nominated for best actress at the #oscars "
Yeoh wasn't the first Asian actress ever nominated. That honor goes to #MerleOberon, who was born in India, and hid her South Asian heritage for many years until being forced to confront it during the late 1970's. She alleged that she was born in Tasmania, Australia, and that her birth records were destroyed in a fire.
