Katy's Corner: Anna May Wong

Today we are discussing the life and career of Anna May Wong, a pioneering actress of the early Hollywood era. She started in silent films, and ended up with her face on money (for a little bit).

Born Wong Liu Tsong in Los Angeles in 1905, Anna grew up in an integrated neighborhood but faced racism in her early years. But our girl had a dream of being the first major Hollywood actress of Chinese descent and she was not taking no for an answer.

This is a story with lots of ups and downs, but I think you'll love it.
Cheers, bitches. 🥂
