Anna May Wong, Limehouse Blues

Sadly, I don’t have a lot of Anna May Wong photos or information on Hollywood Yesterday but I have a pretty good reason for it… she’s relatively new to me! How I managed to go my whole movie-obsessed life without seeing this beautiful and talented lady in ANYTHING is beyond me, but somehow I managed.

I only recently have been able to see a couple of her films (in my defense, they can really be hard to find). I absolutely love her and will be adding a lot more to the blog from here on out.

Beautiful Chinese-American Anna May was born Wong Liu Tsong on January 3, 1905, in Los Angeles, California. She has 64 acting credits – which is quite impressive when you consider the fact that she lived during a time when diversity in Hollywood was nearly unheard of.

A few Anna May Wong films on Prime Video:

Lady from Chungking

Bombs Over Burma

A Study in Scarlet

Her film Tiger Bay is available on DVD on Amazon.

Anna May Wong, Tiger Bay

Beautiful and talented Anna May Wong carries the distinction of being the first Chinese-American movie star. She was born Wong Liu Tsong (According to the British Film Institute biography, her birth name was Luong Liu Tsong) on January 3, 1905, in Los Angeles, California, to Wong Sam Sing and Lee Gon Toy.

A few of Anna May’s joys were horseback riding, golfing and skiing. This lovely actress is fairly new to me, so I am honestly just now reading about her. I’m devouring everything I can get my hands on and working my way through her filmography.

Expect to see much more of her on the blog!
