James Hong placed his handprints and footprints in cement at the TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX in Hollywood.
City News ServiceJames Hong placed his handprints and footprints in cement in the forecourt of the TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX in Hollywood Thursday, his 95th birthday, honoring a seven-decade acting career with more than 600 credits.
Kwan and Scheinert won best director and best original screenplay Oscars at last March's Academy Awards for the best picture-winning time- and space-twisting sci-fi tale, "Everything Everywhere All at Once," which they produced with Jonathan Wang. Hong portrayed the demanding father of dissatisfied and overwhelmed laundromat owner Evelyn Quan Wang in the film.
"All the laundrymen from Minneapolis had nothing to do on weekends, so they would gather at my father's store, herb store," Hong said. "I remember that, because we'd have those little wooden stools and they all gathered there, and they hired these Chinese opera people from San Francisco to come and do their thing ... I was only a little boy. You watch them with wide eyes, 'Wow! What a profession.
After finishing his training for the day, he would entertain soldiers. Upon witnessing Hong's performing prowess, the camp general asked Hong to stay at Camp Rucker and be in charge of the camp's live shows rather than being deployed to Korea.
