Risk Takers 2019: Sometimes a risk works. Sometimes it fails. Sometimes it takes years before you know. See who else made the list.

For author Kevin Kwan, there wasn’t a better place to premiere the film adaptation of his book, “Crazy Rich Asians,” than Los Angeles’ Chinese Theatre. For more than 90 years, it has stood as a symbol of the dreamy elegance of Hollywood. With its Chinese artifacts and architecture, the building is also a symbol of another side of Hollywood — one that has appropriated Asian culture and customs for American audiences.

“Crazy Rich Asians” had a profound impact on American culture and made $239 million at the box office. The movie was a blockbuster. It topped the box office its opening weekend. Its cast and team are visible presences on red carpets. A sequel is in development.
