THE JOY LUCK CLUB Cast to Reunite on STARS IN THE HOUSE in Honor of AAPI Heritage Month

Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley announced today that the award-winning cast of the 1993 film "The Joy Luck Club" will reunite on "Stars In The House" this Friday, May 28 at 8pm ET, in honor of AAPI Heritage Month. Kieu Chinh (Suyuan - The Mother), France Nuyen (Ying-Ying - The Mother), Ming-Na Wen (June - The Daughter), Lauren Tom (Lena - The Daughter), Rosalind Chao (Rose - The Daughter), and writer/author Amy Tan will come together to reminisce about their time working on this groundbreaking project. The novel itself remained on the New York Times bestseller list for seven months, and the film adaptation was the first in Hollywood with a majority Asian American cast. Its impact is still felt in the Asian American community and the cast will discuss what it was, and is, like to be a part of that.
