In her time, she was a legendary beauty, witty conversationalist, and fashion icon. Plucked from her family’s laundry business in Los Angeles, Anna May Wong rose to stardom in Douglas Fairbanks’s blockbuster The Thief of Bagdad . Fans and the press clamored to see more of this unlikely actress, but when Hollywood repeatedly cast her in stereotypical roles, she headed abroad in protest.   Anna May starred in acclaimed films in Berlin, Paris, and London. She dazzled royalty and heads of state across several nations, leaving trails of suitors in her wake. She returned to challenge Hollywood at its own game by speaking out about the industry’s blatant racism. She used her new stature to move away from her typecasting as the China doll or dragon lady, and worked to reshape Asian American representation in film.   Filled with stories of capricious directors and admiring costars, glamorous parties and far-flung love affairs, Not Your China Doll showcases the vibrant, radical life of a groundbreaking artist. 538 $a Requires the Libby app or a modern web browser. 650 17 $a Nonfiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Biography & Autobiography. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a History. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Women's Studies. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a McLaughlin, Caroline. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=9951378 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1191-1/%7BA7891A93-F671-41F2-A956-A678914B09AC%7DIMG100.JPG $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1191-1/%7BA7891A93-F671-41F2-A956-A678914B09AC%7DIMG200.JPG $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/a7891a93-f671-41f2-a956-a678914b09ac $x 1370 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240305011443.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=375D2698DABE11EEBE8532184BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
