Short Guardian article on actress Anna May Wong
The Guardian has a short article on the recent reassessments of Anna May Wong's film career, including biographies and a documentary. (Via daegaer.)
Anna May Wong (1933): "Why is it that the screen Chinese is nearly always the villain? And so crude a villain. Murderous, treacherous, a snake in the grass. We are not like that. How should we be, with a civilisation that is so many times older than that of the west?"
Anna May Wong (1960): "I was so tired of the parts I had to play."
