Susan Chapek’s Reviews > Faber Faber Not Your China Doll The Wild and Shimmering Life of Anna May Wong. > Status Update

I'm not quite sure why something more than 40 full pages of this bio are devoted to a film in which Anna May Wong didn't appear--The Good Earth, and its original producer Irving Thalberg.
I'd have been content to merely read the artist's own words: "I do not see why I, at this stage in my career...should accept a minor role in a Chinese play...that will surround me entirely by a Caucasian cast."

This superfan of classic movies was glad to find an Anna May Wong commemorative quarter in my change at a coffee counter a few months ago. It's a simple portrait design that I think she'd have approved of.

Glad to discover this bio on the new books display in my local library.
