"something that was different about her?" "don't want to call it an obstacle?" let's call it for what it is – she wasn't a star like she should've been b/c she she was an asian american actress in a racist institution
Her charisma jumps out of the screen in Shanghai Express. Anna May Wong is every bit the equal to the Iconic Dietrich. They don't make them like these two anymore.
An enchanting talent. I feature Anna May Wong on my website and try to bring her new fans through showing her movies to audiences that might not have been aware of her before. I get messages from people that have visited http://www.HaremCinema.com and are finding her for the first time. They are all very flattering about her acting, which is nice to see. Thank you for sharing this piece with us all too.
If she were 25 years old today, she'd be a major star with an impressive future. Maybe, slowly, things are improving. We do her just honor by loving her and acknowledging what she gave the industry.
She was a talented actress; beautiful, very, very intelligent, with a slender, elegant figure that made her look wonderful in fashionable clothes. She should have been a bigger star than she was allowed to be.
Hollywood is still giving stereotypical roles to actors/actresses of colour till this day tho but since diversity is being pushed more in the spotlight lately, I hope it'll change completely someday tho…
She was a star, but not as big as she could have been. I saw this biographical film (documentary) in it's entirety. I'm white, but at the end of this film, I was in tears, because of that and because she died so young, and never married. History is amazing and for the most part forgotten and lost to time, but I am amazed by those trailblazers who were first at something important in the world, or invented something that would benefit mankind. This was a great documentary, and I had never previously heard of Anna May Wong. So thank you Yunah Hong for educating the world and preserving the memory, and for the beautiful piano soundtrack.
I always wished she had more screen time in Shanghai Express. Sure she was exquisite looking but I LOVED that voice. So elegant and mysterious. She had a magical presence on film that makes her difficult to forget.
Part of this is not true. Wong was a third generation Chinese-American. Both her father's and mother's family had been in the U.S. since 1855. Also note that in her movies Wong speaks with a Mid-Atlantic accent and not a Western accent. She was a wonder actress.
She reminds me of Ms. Alice Yang…one of my most BRILLIANT, gifted and talented flute protoges…she wanted (after a couple of months of lessons) to go and play CHRISTmas duets with me on the San Antonio River ! "We can make MONEY…you'll see…people will give us TIPS!" LOL

Like Hattie McDaniel, Anna was able to transcend racist stereotypical roles. I salute them, brilliant ladies

Wow!….And I do mean….Wow!
i hope this movie is about anna may wong and not racism…
Beautiful woman lovely speaking voice.
Anna hadnt seen her father in a long time , and all he gets is a handshake ?!
At some point her story probably will be told in a feature length film
What a beautiful voice she had, too (4:05).
One of the legends of the silent era. And the first Asian-American actresses who broke the scene.

I really hope someone makes a movie about her life someday. It would be so awesome to see it.

ho lee chit !!!
She was treated better in China than in her own home country, shameful
Anna May was so beautiful. So sad that She wasn't given more respect by Hollywood while She was alive.

This is totally wrong
She look alike Hana Mae Lee (the actress of Pitch Perfect) .

So honoured to be named Anna-Mei after her. <3

I want to cry whenever i see and hear her on screen, she' was zoo glamourous.Â

Hollywood was and still is a hypercritical bunch of idiots.
Great actress
Beautiful in looks, and a steely beautiful spirit as well.
