Quotes by Anna May Wong

She appeared in over 50 films during her career, including the silent film "The Toll of the Sea" and the classic Hollywood movies "Shanghai Express" and "The Thief of Bagdad." Despite facing racism and discrimination in the film industry, Wong was a trailblazer for Asian-American representation and helped pave the way for future generations of actors and actresses. She was also an activist and worked to improve the image of Asian Americans in the media. (Bio)
