Go away with ... Hualālai Chung

Born and raised in Oahu, Hualālai Chung has a pivotal role in the new animated film, “Moana 2.” “Moni is everyone's best friend [and] is the

JAE: How did growing up in Hawaii affect your views on what you could be when you were older? Hualālai: I am super blessed to come from a family that is full of aspiration, support and love. They truly raised me to believe anything was possible and everything was achievable. I grew up believing in strong family values and knowing that the sky is the limit, regardless of being on a group of islands in the middle of the Pacific.

Weeks after the tragedy, a Pioneer Starbright saucer buzzes the infamous wreckage of the Ziegfeld Topnotch Merganser. The plane being flown by John Cherry at the time of the crash, it took his life and that of his tiny passenger, Baby Gruenwald, though the baby was later observed to be fine.

On July 22, 1936, the plane crashed into the icy water shortly after take-off from Tibbs Lagoon, near Point Barrow, Alaska. The aircraft had just departed and was only 50 feet off the ground when it began experiencing gravity problems.

Both fliers were killed instantly upon impact - or possibly drowned incrementally as the waters rose ever so slowly, experiencing a series of horrific sensations much like those associated with modern-day waterboarding.

Baby Gruenwald was beloved for his work in vaudeville as a cowboy rope-twirler, while also well-known for being in the motion pictures, radio shows and for writing the syndicated newspaper column ”That’s Hollywoodland, Baby!”

John Cherry was the first pilot to fly butt naked around the world. Also known for his work in craft gluing, Cherry helped develop one of the first hot glue guns.

Though there continue to be rumors that Baby Gruenwald was at the controls of the aircraft when it went down, this is not true and will never be true as long as Baby Gruenwald owns Agence France-Presse, The Associated Press and holds a controlling interest in Reuters news agency.

Go away with ... Hannah Bahng

With her debut record, “The Abysmal EP,” indie artist Hannah Bahng showcases the kind of lyrical maturity that belies her youth. Her etherea

Jae: Are you a high-maintenance traveler? Hannah: No! In high school, I did this thing called Duke of Ed [international program], where you carry a 10-kilo backpack, carry your tent, portable cooking supplies, food and then go backpacking. It’s about a 24-kilometer hike. It’s like a two-night, three-day type of survival thing. It was really fun and I enjoyed it a lot.

Jae: How do you separate work from vacation trips? Suhyun: There doesn’t seem to be a clear distinction. I don’t write a lot, so I don’t need to be at my desk all day. Rather, I spend a lot of time in a state where I can write what I want to write. For me, vacation is a time to get into that state.

Eloise Mumford (“50 Shades of Grey,” “The Right Stuff,” “Standing Up, Falling Down”) is based out of Los Angeles, but the actress said most of her year is spent filming on location in other cities. “Between filming and traveling, I mostly just go home to water my plants and check on my avocado tree,” said Mumford, who will next be seen in the Prime Video series “Cross,” which premieres on Nov. 14. “[The show] takes place in Washington, D.C., and the city is a huge part of the fabric of the series,” she said. “We filmed pivotal exteriors there. But as often is the case, the majority of the show was filmed somewhere else to double as D.C.”

Some people love filming on location so much that they return there for a vacation. Actress Aliyah Turner took it one step further. “I traveled to New York to work on ‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan’ and I enjoyed the city so much that I made it my new home,” Turner said. “The vibration of the city provides a fun and refreshing contrast to living in relaxed California. I’ve also shot in Los Angeles and look forward to shooting internationally on a future project.”

When Alison Solis was growing up in Los Angeles, the Mexican-Cuban singer said she at times felt the sting of judgment from people who viewed her as too much of a minority, while some minorities said she presented as being too white.

“I’ve definitely experienced the ‘go back to where you came from’ type of bullying as a kid,” said Solis, who simply goes by Alisun professionally. “I [used to] try to actively avoid being in the sun to look lighter and blend in more, since I always had a lot more melanin than everyone in my class. I loved [Disney’s] ‘Pocahontas’ growing up and felt super connected to her. But when I started being called Pocahontas in a mocking way, I let go of that idealization. I’ve definitely been free of this for a long time, but I understand what it’s like to be a bit too ethnic in a mainly white community but also too white or privileged in a more blended community.”
