Alberta-born, broadcast journalist, writer and actress Olivia Cheng has been cast to play the lead in ‘The Iris Chang Story: The Woman who Couldn’t Forget‘.
And only here can you listen to a very different interview you won’t see or hear anywhere else, as I told her she didn’t have to take me so seriously.
She talks about how she discovered freelance historian and journalist Iris Chang at 17, how she convinced the producers to see her, and how her own battle with depression mentally prepared her for the role.
[Side note: Olivia and I have known each other for 6 years but had never met face to face. So when I finally introduced myself, she gave me a funny look, “Not Christine Miguel, Christine Miguel?” I smiled, “Yes.”)]
