For these children, it’s hard to imagine a time when Wong, then the country’s most celebrated Asian American actress, was mostly relegated to playing villains or housemaids.
Anna May Wong, who faced discrimination and stereotyping throughout her acting career, will be the fifth woman featured on the U.S. quarter this year.
“With K-pop and Asian Americans more visible in the mainstream, it’s really elevating our cultures,” she said. “We’ve been going through COVID and all of the hate rising from the virus. But this can convince people to embrace us more.”“To think of what she accomplished in those early days, and the barriers she had to jump through — how amazing,” he said.
Her career spanned motion pictures, television and theater. She appeared in more than 60 movies, including one of the first in Technicolor. Yet the discrimination was pervasive. Back in the U.S., she won acclaim in 1951 as the first Asian American lead actor in a TV show, playing a Chinese gallery owner searching for treasured art objects in “The Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong.”
“Finally, they know her,” she told The Times earlier, following her aunt’s selection for the quarter.
