Anna May Wong, born in Los Angeles in 1905 to a traditional family
that did not support her ambition, is the only Asian-American
actress to have achieved stardom during Hollywood's Golden Age. In
her youth she went to hundreds of motion pictures and studied the
actors. She remained single to avoid a conventional Chinese
marriage that could endanger her career. With her beauty and grace,
she gradually became the darling of the intelligentsia, inspiring
poems, songs, and crowds of admirers in the British Isles, Europe,
and China. During World War II, she toured the United States, New
Zealand, and Australia for the benefit of the Chinese war relief.
Leaving a legacy of some 60 film appearances, numerous stage and
television shows, and several radio spots, Wong remains an
outstanding role model for Asian-American performers. This book
covers Anna May Wong's entire career through detailed filmographic
entries, each containing critical commentary as well as standard
cast and technical credits, synopses, and newspaper and magazine
reviews. The separate sections detail Wong's stage work and radio
and television appearances. Information on Wong's beginnings in Los
Angeles and personal life is also provided.
