Thanks for sharing this, Gareth. The story of Anna May Wong is fascinating and deserved to be told. It’s brought to mind Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu, a novel that explores how Asian people in the film industry are little less than a caricature or a stereotype, hardly ever multifaceted individuals.
Ah thanks for the novel, I'll add that to my list to read! Yeah it's easy to look over these sorts of stories, but it opens up a whole discussion that hasn't really changed in a century, it's mind boggling.
Hope you keep these stories coming, it was a great read
