Then to have that expectation turned on its head--- the somewhat (and somehow) illicit delight of seeing her in racy Western attire such as a bikini or lingerie. Like a secret revealed.
Nancy Kwan was not the only Asian girl who fit this profile in her era...though she was certainly the most famous. There was also Irene Tsu. And of course there was Mie Hama, who played the white bikinied side kick of James Bond at the end of "You Only Live Twice".

Came across this--it's a color image of a bikini clad Nancy Kwan from behind the scenes of the movie "Honeymoon Hotel" (1964). The B&W image was included in my original montage.
Incidentally I have seen this film and NK does not wear this bikini in the film...or anything particularly revealing for that matter. I believe she may have worn it for promotional materials.
Link to film is below-- the cast is sort of who's who of familiar faces of the era... Robert Morse, Robert Goulet, Keenan Wynn, Jill St. John...
