There's many choices. Many talented actresses. However Emma Stone played her perfectly
shareYes, but she's not even Asian! She's as white as alabaster. Bi-racial women are very rarely blue-eyed and red-headed.
Would you cast Lucy Liu as Marilyn Monroe?
Emma Stone would not be a good choice to play a full or half Asian character but Allison Ng is 1/4 Asian and with that anyone could play the role of any race. Emma Stone was a good choice.
shareCameron...is that you?
shareShe was terrible in the movie. They clearly made the character 1/4 Hawaiin just to justify casting Stone in the role. It would have been much better had the character been pure Hawaiin--would have been more believable that she gave a crap about what was going on. Plenty of talented Asian actresses around that could have been great in this. Grace Parks comes to mind. Emma Stone is a good actress--but not in this movie. In fairness, almost all the performances in this movie are crap.
shareShe was great. Have you ever been to Hawaii? If not STFU.
shareThe character is 1/4 Chinese and 1/4 Hawaiian. Both Chinese and Hawaiians carry the gene for black hair. The gene for black hair is dominant.
When you cross a dominant black hair gene with a recessive blond hair gene, how do you get a blond kid?
The two ways I can think of:
-- Albino mutation
-- Daddy's not really your daddy.
That's totally false. Dark hair is not a dominant gene when it comes to phenotypes. Explain how many aboriginal mix people have blond hair.
shareHer character is based on a real person that Cameron Crowe knows. She is half-Asian and has red hair.
shareExcept if they had a Swedish or Scottish parent. Genes are funny things and Swedish genes are very strong. Look how "alabaster" white the child of the SVDelos couple is - a youtube channel of a very dark half Mexican guy who married a Swedish girl.
shareSorry, I guess this is politically incorrect, but I thought Emma Stone was the best thing in the movie.
shareWell if they're picking a white girl to play part Asian, summer glau.
I wanted to see this film. The real world, the business side of Hollywood produces films for profit. Films people want to see. Since the beginning studios select projects, vehicles for proven stars to make good films and money. Unfortunately this was not a good film. Not because of the casting but the story was not well written. Until you start bankrolling your own money to place where your politically correct mouth is, this is the commercial system. Aloha!

if you want to cast an unknown with the looks and american accent, this could work... she could have been cameron crowe's discovery... but nooooo, crowe had to cast a white girl.

Vanessa Hudgeons-- she's 1/4 Filipino.
Rachel Bilson -is also 1/2 or 1/4 Filipino
Both cute, perky, adept at comedy, dark-haired and bi-racial features

Emma Stone was a good casting choice. Since we didn't produce this movie, it doesn't matter what any of us think. It's Cameron Crowe's movie and he gets to make the decisions. This obsession with race is absurd.
share"It's Cameron Crowe's movie and he gets to make the decisions. "
none of us are stoping him from making crap cracker but this is a msg board so ppl will talk about it cracker. what do you think this board is for cracker?
Cameron Crowe wants to sell us on a story. If we don't find the story credible, it makes it harder for him to finance movies to tell more stories.
They say, "The customer is always right" because it's easier for businesses to satisfy customers than to educate them on what is and isn't productive. I think it would have been easier for Crowe to find an actress who has almond-shaped eyes than to ask everyone to pretend that Emma Stone is 1/4 Asian.
Filipino is NOT polynesian. It's still Asian with a bit of Spanish and Arabic thrown in.
shareMoon Bloodgood. She is age appropriate for Bradley Cooper and she has played a pilot before in Eight Below and Terminator Salvation.
shareShe is the same age as him, so that wouldn't of been young and spunky. Hell they are both my age and I date girls 10+ years younger than me. Rachael is only three years younger than him and fit for the old fling. The whole thing about the new girl was she was suppose to be young.
As much as I love Moon Bloodgood she wouldn't of been good for that role.
I can't think of any. And that's another problem, I guess filmmakers have to cast an actress that is a draw and unfortunately, there aren't many non-white actresses that do that.
