Ming-Na Wen on Star Wars, Becoming a Disney Legend & Her Family Cookbook

from Talk Fifty To Me Hosted by Heidi Clements & Constance Zimmer

Ming-Na Wen on midlife, family and Star Wars. She became the first Asian woman named a Disney Legend at 56, got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 59, and has argued for the "Tom Cruise effect": long careers built on craft, not age. She also talks about turning her family history into the cookbook Have You Eaten Yet and landing some of her most iconic roles.
