Anna May Wong Movie Pictures
After You Watch Hollywood on Netflix, Check Out These Pictures of the Real Anna May Wong
In the alternate history presented on Netflix's Hollywood, a few versions of real Golden Age stars show up, including Anna May Wong (played by Michelle Krusiec). Wong, born Wong Liu Tsong, was a glamorous screen queen and became widely acknowledged as the first Chinese-American actor to achieve real movie stardom.
In real life, her career saw her become a fashion icon but also get pigeonholed into stereotypical roles. She did, however, break a lot of new ground in the movie business, even starring on the first Asian-led American TV series in the 1950s. She might not be as much of a household name as some of her contemporaries, but she's every bit the leading lady who deserves to be remembered.
