Who is Anna May Wong, the first Asian American on U.S. currency?
By Bryan Pietsch of the Washington Post
Wong is regarded as Hollywood’s first Asian American movie star. The third-generation
American’s career took off at a time of widespread anti-Asian xenophobia, with the
Chinese Exclusion Act still in effect. She gained fame for her roles in silent films
like “The Toll of the Sea” (1922) — one of the first Technicolor movies — and “The
Thief of Bagdad” (1924).
