Thanks for the informative posts (with links), sunnyoyk.
Must confess I have not heard of Anna May Wong (AMW) until now. Have since done some research about her life and work, and must admit I am very impressed with her talent and work. So much so, I have now become her belated fan.
Thanks to Chinatown Arts Space, will go and see 'Piccadilly Re-visited' on 12.09.09. |

"Anna May Wong Did It Right"
By Richard Corliss
29th January 2005
(Times Magazine)
------------------------------------------------------
'... In the quarter-century of Hollywood feature films before 1940, only two non-white actors had been regularly cast in starring roles. One, Sessue Hayakawa from Japan, was a stalwart heartthrob in the late teens. The other was all American: born in California, a native English speaker, and with a sensual, intelligent allure that even the studio bosses could not ignore. She was Anna May Wong, whose centenary we celebrate this month...' (To continue reading this well written article, visit: http://www.time.com/time/columnist/corliss/article/0,9565,1022536,00.h tml ).
Hope the above article is of interest to readers in this Forum. |
