There is only one Dorothy Toy. Take my word for it. She is one of the most talented and fascinating dancers in American history -and you are about to find out why.
While overcoming prejudice and challenging odds as Asian Americans in show business they soared to new heights. They didn't just trail blaze for other Asian Americans; they broke the mold for all of us.
Dorothy Toy's story has been told through a documentary, Dancing Through Life: The Dorothy Toy Story by veteran San Francisco Bay Area journalist and documentary filmmaker Rick Quan, who called Dorothy Toy "an Asian American pioneer in entertainment."
Rick Quan will be my guest on Conversations on the Saturday, April 14 broadcast of Marvels of China: Pathways to the Pacific Rim on 1490 WGCH and WGCH.com anywhere via audio-streaming at 10:30 a.m. Eastern USA Time/10:30 p.m. Beijing Time.
