The Mike Wallace Interview Record date: April 20, 1959 Executive producer: Ted Yates Jr. Producer: Al Ramrus. Director: Max Miller. Writer: Sanford Sheldon. Host: Mike Wallace. Featured guest: Miyoshi Umeki. Preserved by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Miyoshi Umeki (1929-2007) led a multifaceted and historically significant career as one of the few actors of Asian descent to attain prominence in Hollywood motion pictures, television and on Broadway. She was the first Asian woman to receive an Academy Award, winning Best Supporting Actress for "Sayonara" (1957). Her next starring role in the stage (1958) and film (1961) adaptations of "Flower Drum Song" also broke new ground: it was the first Broadway musical to feature a predominantly Asian and Asian American cast, and garnered Umeki a Tony Award nomination. An accomplished vocalist, Umeki appeared on many popular variety TV shows and earned a regional Emmy Award for Outstanding Female Personality in 1958. She co-starred in the ABC sitcom "The Courtship of Eddie’s Father" (1969-1972), which was one of the first American primetime TV shows with an Asian or Asian American leading role. For three seasons on the Emmy-nominated program, Umeki portrayed the beloved housekeeper and moral and emotional pillar to a single-parent family. Learn more from our blog: ucla.in/3ewpJxw
