⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A compelling biography of Anna May Wong, the first Chinese American actress to rise to Hollywood stardom. Born in 1905 in LA to Chinese immigrants, Wong battled racism and anti-miscegenation while navigating Hollywood, working across film, radio, and TV, and achieving international fame in Europe and Asia. Embracing her Chinese heritage as a modern American woman, talented, resilient, and far ahead of her time, at great personal cost, she paved the way for future Asian American performers.
