Embodying
flapper chic while challenging traditional ideas of
Chinese womanhood, Los Angeles-born Anna May Wong
(1905–1961) achieved stardom despite the racism
of her time. From March 4 through April 16, 2006,
Museum of the Moving Image will present the most extensive
retrospective of her films ever presented. The seven-week
series spans the astonishing range of Wong’s
career, with screenings of more than twenty movies,
including five silent films with live musical accompaniment,
and several documentaries and newsreels. For a complete
