Every time your picture is taken, you lose a part of your soul. —Anna May Wong
Happy 119th Birthday Anna May Wong, shown above in the 1929 film, Piccadilly. 🔥🖤🤍🖤🔥
For anyone who’s not familiar with the Chinese American actress (she was from LA and apparently, her older sister Lulu was married to my dad’s Uncle Howard), Anna May Wong was Hollywood’s first Chinese American actress to gain international fame—a true visionary and icon, way ahead of her time. Can’t even imagine all the racism she must have dealt with 100 years ago.
