Fantastic video! Anna May Wong was a phenomenal actress. You can't help but think what could have been had she been given the opportunity.

I’m glad you like it! If she had been given the opportunity it would have been an entirely different story.

Dorothy Dandrige was a knockout, and those white men knew it. Mason looked like he wanted to eat her alive!

Thanx a lot for the video, Anna is an incredible artist forever!

Thank you!

Her mother was pretty; and saying that luise Rainer was prettier than Anna Mae was an insult!

Both Pearl Buck and Irving Thalberg envisioned an all-Chinese cast for The Good Earth. Unfortunately, Lewin got his way. Muni and Rainer are like fingernails on a chalkboard.

They never listen to actors nor writers.
