The Washington Post has edited the caption in its article about “The Joy Luck Club” after misidentifying nearly all the cast in the photo.
In their article titled “Why ‘The Joy Luck Club’ is the most interesting — and frustrating — addition to the National Film Registry this year,” the publication originally featured the actresses’ names as Kieu Chinh, Ming-Na Wen, Tamlyn Tomita, Tsai Chin, France Nuyen, Lauren Tom, Lisa Lu and Rosalind Chao, according to The Wrap.
