In this video I tell the story of Merle Oberon, the first South Asian woman to be nominated for the Best Actress Oscar. I talk about the challenges she faced, as well as her performance in Wuthering Heights, and why it was so covertly groundbreaking. Of course, we do talk about Jacob Elordi, Emerald Fennell, and Heathcliff too.
