(1905—1961, b. Los Angeles Chinatown)
Anna May Wong remains the most recognizable Chinese American Hollywood actor of her time. Her unparalleled film career spanned four decades, beginning in the silent era, and included work in Europe, on worldwide stages, and into the early days of television. The films programmed here show two of Wong's contrasting on-screen personas: deceitful dragon lady and upright Chinese American citizen.
