And independent films were coming in. And so, I mean, I was just caught in that. But Ray Stark had me under contract. So I did... quite a few films, you know, for seven years, actually. Yes. Under contract. Yeah. And different films. And at that time, you know, with Asian actors, before then, Asian actors did not get the good roles, really the roles that could advance the career.
It's much better now. It's getting better.
This is... All right, I will.
Yeah. Terry Grant. That's right. That's right.
Yes. Right?
Glenn Ford. I worked with quite a few of them. Yeah.
Of course. My good friend. Your good friend, Mr. Bruce Lee, yeah. Bruce also came from Hong Kong. And Bruce went to La Salle, which is a Catholic school. And I went to Maryknoll, which is a kind of a Catholic school, a convent. But Bruce used to hang around Maryknoll just to look at the girls.
He was the Cha-Cha King of Hong Kong at one time, Bruce.
Cha-Cha King.
Very cool, very nice, good friend. And he was the one who told me, he said, actually, I worked with him on The Wrecking Crew with Dean Martin and Sharon Tate. And we had, Sharon Tate and I had a fight scene, martial arts. So Bruce was called in to show us what to do. And that's how I met him.
And when I got to know him, Bruce said to me, you know, Nancy, I'm going back to Hong Kong to become a big martial arts star. That's what I'm going to do. And I believed him.
Yeah, I mean, he was so determined.
And he had such energy and conviction that he was the best. And he was. Yeah.
And he introduced martial arts, you know.
Yes, yes, he did.
Well, I was under contract, so I was lucky. I was, one time, Ray Stark put me in a film where I played an English girl with English parents. So all the actors in England were complaining. They said, what is this Chinese girl or the Asian playing an English girl?
No.
I did the film, got reviews, got reviews.
The Wild Affair, it was called.
A long while.
