Notes

Description
"At the dawn of a new century, America is falling in love with silent movies, including young Wong Liu Tsong. By eleven Wong Liu is determined to become an actress and has chosen a stage name: Anna May Wong. At sixteen, Anna May leaves high school to pursue her Hollywood dreams. Nineteen-year-old Anna May gets her big break in The Thief of Bagdad. Yet her talent isn't enough to overcome the racism that relegates her to supporting roles while Caucasian actresses in "yellowface" are given starring roles portraying Asian women. Though she suffers professionally and personally, Anna May fights to win lead roles and finds freedom and stardom across the globe." --,Publisher's description.
