Anna May Wong remembered

在 YouTube 上看到 Sexy Beijing 的 Discovering Anna May Wong 頗令人動容。Anna May Wong, 黃柳霜，是美國 30 年代的華裔巨星，在種族歧視的好萊鄔演了無數的爛片。米高梅 1936 年拍賽珍珠的小說「大地」，原本是一部謳歌中國農民的電影，卡司竟全部找白人演員來演中國人主角，反而首席華裔女星黃柳霜只分到一個壞人的小角色，氣的她乾脆拒演。演女主角阿藍的德藉女星 Luise Rainer 因「大地」一角而獲 1937 年的奧斯卡最佳女主角獎。What a fantastic irony of Gender, Race and Identity。

Also a most interesting blog, Anna May Wong Daily. Amazingly you can see her 1935 copy of re-entry paper. Note that under Chinese Exclusion Law, Wong was not considered US citizen, even she was born in the State.
