Join the West Hollywood Library, in the Community Meeting Room as we recognize Asian Pacific American Heritage Month with a screening of the PBS American Experience documentary, Anna May Wong: In Her Own Words.
One of the few actors to successfully transition from silent to sound cinema, Anna May Wong was glamorous, talented and cosmopolitan. Yet as a Chinese-American woman, she spent most of her career typecast either as a painted doll or a scheming dragon lady. Excerpts from Wong's films, archival photographs and interviews enhance this richly detailed picture of a woman and her extraordinary life.
