Anna May Wong: Icon of the Silver Screen

he San Diego Chinese Historical Museum proudly welcomes the public to delve into the fascinating world of Anna May Wong, Hollywood’s very first Chinese American movie star.  Born Wong Liu Tsong, her journey from the streets of Los Angeles' Chinatown to international stardom is a testament to her talent, resilience, and dedicated pursuit of breaking barriers.
