"Light and fun. Irene Tsu writes about her life as an innocent and fortunate adventurer. Her love of people shines through, and we get to glimpse her famous friends and lovers in a simple and disarming way. Sharing her 'watercolor' approach to life is a wonderful gift to us."
—Film producer Michael Phillips
Chicago TV network WGN-9 interviewed me about my new book, "A Water Color Dream," now available on Amazon. Here's the full interview.
Australia's Today Extra Channel 9 also just interviewed me about my new book. Check out the video above!
Irene is appearing in two new series on Netflix! On Sept. 4, Away, starring Hilary Swank and created by Andrew Hinderaker, will debut and run for 10 episodes. Away tells the story of Emma Green, an American astronaut who must leave her husband and teenage daughter behind in order to command an international space crew embarking upon a treacherous, three year-long mission. It is a series about hope, humanity and how ultimately, we need one another if we are to achieve impossible things.
Then, later in 2020, Irene lends her unique vocal talents to the animated Chinese-American film Over the Moon. This adventure musical comedy film was directed by Glen Keane and co-directed by John Kahrs. This computer-animated movie is about a girl named Fei Fei, who builds and flies a rocket ship to meet the moon goddess Chang'e. Over the Moon is scheduled for a late 2020 release on Netflix.

I've had an enormously colorful life. I grew up with all the parts I
played. I played the daughter, the sweet daughter, the disobedient daughter.
I was a secretary, a nurse, a doctor, a judge, a business woman, a villain.
In my real life, I've been a dancer, an actor, a designer, an artist, an
entrepreneur, a realtor, a builder, a wife, and a mother.
A master of none, that's for sure.
I imagine that I'm the one that laid down the first stroke of my water
color, when perhaps I'm just the instrument of the mighty hand of the
Higher Power that governs heaven, the stars, the galaxy, the water, earth,
wind, and fire, and all the creatures small and large. I wake each morning,
I yawn, I wiggle my finger and toes, and as long as all seem to be in working
order, I am grateful for another day of living, giving, laughing, loving,
crymg, and dancing till dawn ... and then closing my eyes and dreaming
of where the next stroke leads me.
Over the course of my career, I have earned over eighty film and TV credits…and I continue to work today.
