NOTES
1. Paramount, like all other studios, had a commissary or canteen where their actors would eat while filming. The Paramount commissary was called Continental Cafe.
2. Benson Fong was the Number 2 Son for Charlie Chan films starring Sidney Toler.
3. Benson Fong met Gregory Peck while they were both working in the film THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM in 1944.
4. More about Ah Fong's Restaurant martinostimemachine.blogspot.c...
5. SINGAPORE was a CASABLANCA copycat that tanked at the Box Office. The full movie is at fsharetv.co/watch/singapore-e...
6. TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH is a rather clunky film about a fed busting a dope smuggling ring. Full movie here • To the Ends of the Ear...
7. CHINATOWN AT MIDNIGHT is another clunky whodunit. Benson Fong is uncredited and offed early on the film. Maylia plays a telephone operator who is instrumental in cracking the case.

8. Maylia was uncredited in her last small film roles.

What a lovely RUclips channel.
Very professionally made, and covering a subject on American Asian film stars of Hollywood.
I noticed that the channel has been inactive for a couple of years, but if you do decide to made any more videos, may I suggest you consider Leslie Charteris, who is the author of the famous Simon Templar ( The Saint)
His real life is nearly as adventurous as his fictional hero,
Hope you make some more videos as this channel is a real 💎.

Five of these Asian-American videos are from May (AAPI Heritage Month) this year! ☺I don't know about Leslie Charteris, thanks for the suggestion! and thank you for the kind words about my channel.
