Between 1919 and 1960 she starred in over fifty films and shared equal billing with Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., Marlene Dietrich, and Warner Oland. But her life, though glamorous, is almost the prototypical story of an immigrant's difficult path through America. Born in Los Angeles in 1905, she was the second daughter of eight children born to a laundryman and his wife. Growing up in Los Angeles fuelled her fascination with Hollywood, and in 1919 she secured a small part in her first film, The Red Lantern with Alla Nazimova. Her most famous film roles were in Toll of the Sea, Piccadilly, The Thief of Bagdad, Daughter of the Dragon, and most importantly, Shanghai Express, opposite Dietrich. Anna May Wong was an international celebrity whose friendships with intellectuals and artists included the famed Chinese actress Butterfly Wu, Walter Benjamin, Carl Van Vechten, Paul Robeson, Edward Steichen, and Mei Lan Fan. Even though Anna May Wong made many landmark films, discrimination against Asians in Hollywood insured that she was passed over for the lead role in the film version of Pearl Buck's The Good Earth. Apparently Wong was "too Asian" for the role. The British Film Institute recently released a newly restored version of Wong's classic film Piccadilly and the world will, once again, thrill to the artistry of this great actress. Graham Hodges' biography of Anna May Wong rediscovers one of Hollywood's most legendary actresses and is a must for film lovers. 606 $aMotion picture actors and actresses$zUnited States$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMotion picture actors and actresses 676 $a791.43/028/092 700 $aHodges$b Graham Russell$f1946-$0862282 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462197803321 996 $aAnna May Wong$92452326 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05209nam 2200601 a 450 001 9910511714603321 005 20170815124218.0 010 $a0-8261-0899-7 035 $a(CKB)2670000000340112 035 $a(EBL)1153137 035 $a(OCoLC)831118668 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000836091 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12337651 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000836091 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10997834 035 $a(PQKB)11683751 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1153137 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000340112 100 $a20121102d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aSelf-esteem and positive psychology$b[electronic resource] $eresearch, theory, and practice /$fChristopher J.
