“Anna May Wong is finally having her moment. The silent film actor and Hollywood’s first Chinese American movie star is not only featured on a new commemorative US quarter, she’s also back on the big screen as the inspiration for the self-assured Lady Fay Zhu in Damien Chazelle’s current entry in the Oscar race, the ’20s industry tale Babylon. ⠀ For Li Jun Li, who plays Babylon’s Lady Fay, Wong was “a lone warrior”: “There were no others like her. She was isolated but obstinate in her fight against discrimination and typecasting.” Despite everything, Wong was the first Asian American to star in her own television series and the first to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. With a Gemma Chan–fronted biopic also in the works, her star is only poised to get brighter.” ⠀ Read more: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/12/anna-may-wongs-lasting-legacy-awards-insider ⠀ @vanityfair @babylonmovie @lijunli @gemmachan ⠀ Will you be watching Babylon? I have seen an advance screening of the film & have shared my thoughts with minimal spoilers in previous posts. Please keep it mind that it is not a biopic. I predict I will be getting more questions about AMW & more followers once the film is officially released in theaters - which I would welcome with open arms. 😊 . . . . . #turnerclassicmovies #lijunli #oldhollywoodglamour #oldhollywoodglam #retrohollywood #oldhollywoodactress #goldenageofhollywood #gemmachan #oldhollywoodmovies #oldhollywood #oldhollywoodstars #babylonmovie #annamaywongforever #oldhollywoodglamour #annamaywongstyle #annamaywonglives #annamaywongrealness #goldenera #annamaywong #classicmovies #annamaywongpic #oldmovies #annamaywong💎 #annamaywongfeature #annamaywongtribute #annamaywong✨ #annamaywonginspired #oldcinema #annamaywongactress #uscurrency https://www.instagram.com/p/CmZXb7BsJCT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hey AMW family, just checking in… You may have heard of the storm (bomb cyclone) that hit California. I’m located in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am okay and so are my family & friends. More storms are coming our way; please keep Californians in your thoughts. If you contact me & you don’t heard back from me within a reasonable amount of time, it’s very likely my power went out. Don’t fret when that happens; I’ll back to you as soon as I can. Please stay safe everyone! 🙏🏼 1st photo: upscaled version 2nd photo: the original . . . . . #oldhollywood #classicactress #annamaywongactress #annamaywongtribute #黄柳霜 #annamaywongforever #oldcinema #oldmovies #silverscreen #asianamericanactress #annamaywonglives #oldhollywoodglam #oldhollywoodactress #annamaywong✨ #oldhollywoodstars #classicmovies #asianamericanhistory #annamaywongfeature #goldenageofhollywood #annamaywongfans #oldhollywoodglamour #annamaywongrealness #annamaywong #asianexcellence #oldhollywoodmovies #goldenera #annamaywongstyle #annamaywonginspired #annamaewong 💎 #oldhollywoodstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CnDmtWauWSk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
