Merle Oberon attained Hollywood immortality with a nomination for a Best Leading Actress Oscar for her role in the 1935 film The Dark Angel. It was the first time a performer of colour had received an acting nomination at the Academy Awards but because Oberon concealed her South Asian identity throughout her lifetime and "passed" for white, very few people knew it. In Love, Queenie, Mayukh Sen draws on family interviews and previously untapped archival research to animate the Wuthering Heights star's hard-won journey to fame. From an upbringing in poverty, she rose to the highest echelons of the film-world elite during Hollywood's racially exclusionary Golden Age. Love, Queenie empathetically captures one woman's story while illuminating truths on race, gender and power that still resonate today.
