It's difficult to know which of Yue-sai Kan's identities - Emmy Award-winning TV producer, fashion icon, entrepreneur or philanthropist - are being talked about when speaking about "the most famous woman in China", as People Magazine calls her.
The daughter of acclaimed painter Wing-lin Kan was born in China. In 1972, she moved to New York, where she founded Yue-sai Kan Productions and started her own TV program, Looking East, to explain Asian cultures and customs to US audiences.
The show, which aired for 12 years - the last two years of which was on the Discovery Channel - paved the way for her to become a legendary TV personality.
