“I did two movies with Ross Hagen, a good friend of mine who also just passed away a few years ago. I enjoyed working with them on the film.” I knew about Fred but I didn’t know about Tony. Nancy was sad to learn that Tony died in January this year. “I said sure, why not? I am an actor, so why not? So, we did, and it was a great experience.”
Jesse contacted me and said, would you like to do a Filipino film shot in the Philippines with Filipino actors?” I remember I was doing another film in the Philippines. “I think the producer was Jesse Chua,” Nancy, who called from her Los Angeles home, began in our video conversation. She played a Filipina in George Rowe’s 1975 movie.Įddie Garcia, Chanda Romero and Ruel Vernal are also listed in the cast. Nancy debuted on the silver screen in The World of Suzie Wong and Flower Drum Song in 19, respectively.īut first, I asked Nancy, radiant and beautiful at 81, about her memories shooting movies in the Philippines, including Fortress in the Sun with Tony Ferrer and Fred Galang, both of whom we have lost. The Hong Kong-born star, the daughter of a Chinese architect (Kwan Wing Hong) and an English-Scottish model (Marquita Scott), blazed the trail for actors of Asian ancestry in tinseltown. On March 19, they became only the third 15 to ever reach the Sweet 16.Nancy Kwan recently looked back at her years as a pioneering Asian actress in Hollywood in the 1960s, as well as making films in the Philippines in the 1970s. No matter what happens from here, Saint Peter's has already made program history. PERCENT OF BRACKETS WHO HAD SPC IN THE SWEET 16
If Saint Peter's does keep on winning, only 649 brackets - or 2.31 percent of these 28,081 - will get bragging rights as picking Saint Peter's to win the national championship. Looking at these 28,081 brackets that picked Saint Peter's to make the Sweet 16, more than half of these think the Peacocks' run isn't over yet, having them in the Elite Eight (15,967), which would be the furthest a 15 seed has ever gone, as 15s are 0-2 in two prior Sweet 16 games. While 3.27 percent of 2021 brackets had Ohio State winning it all, Kentucky was the winner on 6.01 percent this year. But the Peacocks' first-round foe, Kentucky, was a much more popular title pick than ORU's opponent, Ohio State. The Golden Eagles were in the Sweet 16 on 32,885 brackets - notably higher than Saint Peter's number this year. When Oral Roberts made the Sweet 16 last year, we looked at how BCG users did there. 15 seed, joining 2021 Oral Roberts and 2013 Florida Gulf Coast. Yet those 28,000+ brackets foresaw only the third Sweet 16 run by a No. Saint Peter's also joins longtime powers North Carolina and UCLA in the Sweet 16 in the East - a three-team combo to make it to Philadelphia on only 1,770 BCG brackets.

On Yahoo, 0.7 percent of brackets had the Peacocks reaching the Sweet 16. Only six teams had a lower percentage than that, but only Jacksonville State was a more popular pick from the No. 8 North Carolina in the East.ĭigging into more Men's Bracket Challenge Game data, 28,081 brackets - and 1.53 percent of complete brackets - somehow had the Peacocks in the Sweet 16. In fact, only 506 Men's Bracket Challenge Game players correctly had No.
Saint Peter's run highlighted a wild first two rounds in the East that saw No. Saint Peter's followed Oral Roberts' 2021 Sweet 16 appearance with its own Cinderella run, giving March a 15 seed in the last 16 for the second consecutive season after the Peacocks shocked Kentucky and then Murray State. 15 seeds have ruined brackets the last two years.
