| The Fabulous Kim Sisters |
The year is 1960, and The Kim Sisters have set the Vegas Strip afire with rich harmonies and an ability to play dozens of instruments. The sisters had been in the United States only two short years at the legendary Thunderbird—after singing for American GIs during and after the Korean War. From there, they became a staple of Rat Pack-era Las Vegas, booking clubs across the United States and appearing a record 22 times on the Ed Sullivan Show. Join us as we trace the meteoric rise of The Kim Sisters—from singing for chocolate bars in war-torn Korea to making $13,000 a week as headline entertainers—with a special montage from The Fabulous Kim Sisters and sister Sue Kim Bonifazio sharing her Stardust memories.Thursday, April 15th 6:30 PM Screening 7:15 PM Q&A with Sue Kim Bonifazio Moderated by Benjamin Min Han, New York University Film Screening at The Korea Society Facing the War: Six Decades Since the Korean War The Fabulous Kim Sisters Video Montage, 39 minutes "Try to Remember," An Evening of The Kim Sisters The Korea Society 950 Third Avenue @ 57th Street, 8th Floor |
