Notes
Description
Arriving in Hollywood to become an actress, Anna May Wong discovers her beauty and talent aren't enough to overcome the racism that relegates her to supporting roles and, over the years, fights to win lead roles, accept risqué parts, and keep her illicit love affairs hidden-even as she finds global stardom.
Description
At the dawn of a new century, America is falling in love with silent movies. Wong Liu Tsong and her sister, daughters of Chinese immigrants who own a laundry, are taunted and bullied for their Chinese heritage. Determined to become an actress, Wong Liu has already chosen a stage name: Anna May Wong. Defying her disapproving father and her Chinese traditional upbringing will hold emotional and physical consequences. Her first taste of Hollywood fame starring opposite Douglas Fairbanks in The Thief of Bagdad isn't enough to overcome the racism that relegates her to supporting roles as a helpless, exotic butterfly or a vicious, murderous dragon lady. -- adapted from jacket
