He shattered swimming records and globalized surfing while overcoming racism and a lifetime of personal challenges. Duke Kahanamoku’s stardom extended beyond the water and into Hollywood, where he pursued an acting career. Waterman examines Duke’s experience in 1920s Hollywood and the racial discrimination he faced. Duke was only cast in bit roles— most of them racist stereotypes, and many of which went uncredited.
