  Wong was born January 3, 1905, in Los Angeles. Her birth name was
  Wong Liu Tsong, and her family gave her the English name Anna May. She
  was cast in her first role as an extra in the film “The Red Lantern”
  (1919) at 14 and continued to land small roles as extras until her first
  leading role in “The Toll of the Sea” (1922).

  Her career spanned motion pictures, television, and theater. She
  appeared in more than 60 movies, including silent films and one of the
  first movies made in Technicolor. Wong also became the first Asian
  American lead actor in a U.S. television show for her role in “The
  Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong” (1951).

  After facing constant discrimination in Hollywood, Wong traveled to
  Europe and worked in English, German, and French films. She also
  appeared in productions on the London and New York stages.

  Wong was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960. She
  died on February 3, 1961. She is remembered as an international film
  star, fashion icon, television trailblazer, and a champion for greater
  representation of Asian Americans in film. She continues to inspire
  actors and filmmakers today.
