POP 88 – Exclusive Podcast Interview: Olivia Cheng is Iris Chang

Posted on March 3, 2007 by Xxxtine

Olivia Cheng IS Iris ChangAlberta-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.”)]

Thanks for rating this! Now tell the world how you feel - .
(Nah, it's cool; just take me back.)

The main Canuck here I (sometimes) give a different perspective. I used to be 'read only' but you can actually hear me via POP 88 on 8Asians podcasting sister site Popcast88.com. Always trying to find that right balance between fluff and substance, I tend to focus my interests in discovering different perspectives. Look forward to hearing (and perhaps seeing) things you wouldn't anywhere else. Current vice and embarrassingly obsessed with: Kpop group AFTER SCHOOL
