Note:"Growing up in the friendly suburbs of Richmond, Virginia, Constance Wu was often scolded for having big feelings or strong reactions. 'Good girls dont make scenes,' people warned her. And while she spent most of her childhood suppressing her bold, emotional nature, she found an early outlet in local community theaterít was the one place where big feelings were okaywere good, even. Acting became her refuge, her touchstone, and eventually her vocation. At eighteen she moved to New York, where shed spend the next ten years of her life auditioning, waiting tables, and struggling to make rent before her two big breaks: the TV sitcom Fresh Off the Boat and the hit film Crazy Rich Asians. Through raw and relatable essays, Constance shares private memories of childhood, young love and heartbreak, sexual assault and harassment, and how she 'made it' in Hollywood. Her stories offer a behind-the-scenes look at being Asian American in the entertainment industry and the continuing evolution of her identity and influence in the public eye. Making a Scene is an intimate portrait of pressures and pleasures of existing in todays world." --publisher's website.
