EDITORS COMMENTS
In this studio portrait, Anna May Wong, the trailblazing Chinese American actress, exudes an air of mystery and sophistication. Dressed in an elegant suit and holding a top hat and cane, Wong poses confidently for Cannons, the renowned English photographer of Hollywood. The photograph, taken in 1933, is a fantastic camera-study that showcases Wong's captivating presence and undeniable charm. Born as Wong Liu Tsong in 1905, Anna May Wong was the first Chinese American Hollywood movie star and the first to gain international recognition. Her acting career began in the 1920s, and she quickly rose to fame with her roles in films such as "The Toll of the Sea" (1922) and "Picture Brides" (1934). Cannons' portraits of famous film personalities were being exhibited at his London studio, located at 1, Dover Street, W.1. The Bystander, the first newspaper in England to publish reproductions of Mr. Cannons' very striking work, highlighted the unique beauty and allure of the Hollywood stars captured in his lens. Anna May Wong's portrait, taken during the 1930s, is a testament to the extraordinary talent and influence of both the actress and the photographer. The image, with its timeless elegance and intriguing composition, continues to captivate audiences and remains an iconic representation of the 20th century's Asian American cinematic history.
