Quan's story is one of the great Hollywood comebacks: a child star of the 1980s who stepped away from acting and returned decades later to win an Oscar. Here he tells it himself, in the museum run by the Academy that gave him the award. The ticket includes the book, and he signs it on the spot.
What to expect
A one-hour conversation from 4 to 5 PM, then a signing line from 5 to 6:30 PM, all in the Tea Room on the museum's fifth level. Only the book that comes with the ticket is signed.
