The Second Interracial Kiss on US TV / ASIAN AMERICAN - Sea Hunt - 16 Aug. 1959

Описание: Sea Hunt: Season 2, Episode 33 Proof of Guilt (16 Aug. 1959)
Mike risks his life to catch pearl thieves off the coast of Hawaii.
Stars: Lloyd Bridges, Nobu McCarthy, Ken Drake

Sea Hunt was an American action-adventure show starring Lloyd Bridges (whom Gene Roddenberry would later approach to play both Christopher Pike and Gary Seven on Star Trek) as former U.S. Navy frogman Mike Nelson. Aboard the good ship Argonaut, Nelson battled diabolical villains, performed salvage duties, and rescued those in need of assistance. In the August 1959 episode "Proof of Guilt," Nelson met Sandra Chung, a Hawaiian woman fighting to protect pearl beds from poachers, played by Japanese-Canadian actress Nobu McCarthy.

Granted, when people talk about interracial TV kisses, they are generally referring to black and white actors, and it was more common at the time to see romance scenes involving white actors and those of Asian descent, particularly in movies. Still, such multiculturalism should not be omitted from the discussion, and in that regard, the kissing on Sea Hunt beat Star Trek to the integrated finish line by almost a decade.
