Katie Gee Salisbury is working on a biography of Anna May Wong. Katie was always searching for people who looked like her in the movies. "Asian Americans have been a part of Hollywood since its earliest days making contributions despite obstacles, but their names have been forgotten, overlooked or erased." Anna May Wong was the first Asian movie star born in the US. A photograph of her in the NYT's from the 1930's inspired this painting. I loved her pose and expression.
