Being a Film Pioneer is Not An Easy Role to Play. Starring Anna May Wong


Author Paula Yoo talks about her new book Shining Star: The Anna May Wong Story

As a little girl, all Anna May Wong wanted was to grow up to be a movie star. While most young girls abandon their childhood dreams, Anna May Wong chased and caught her dream, becoming the first Asian American movie star. In the 1930s, film roles for Asian Americans were few, and most were stereotypical and demeaning. Paula Yoo talks about how Anna May’s pioneering hard work and persistence paid off and paved the way for better roles for women and actors of color in film today.
