5 things to know about Leah Lewis, Chinese-American star of Netflix’s The Half of It
Actress, who was adopted from a Shanghai orphanage when she was 8 months old, has appeared on The Voice and Nancy Drew, and now plays a teenage Chinese immigrant in the hit coming-of-age drama The Half of It
Netflix seems to be on a roll these days when it comes to showing cultural representation on screen. After recently releasing the first Indian-American series Never Have I Ever, the online streaming giant instantly succeeded it with the premiere of the coming-of-age film, The Half of It.
Written and directed by Alice Wu, the movie follows the life of a high school Chinese immigrant who finds herself in a complicated love triangle. Spoiler alert though, the film is more about the protagonist’s struggle as an immigrant and coming into her sexuality.
