Google is placing a spotlight on an actress considered to be the first Chinese-American movie star.
Anna May Wong was honored on Wednesday with a Google slideshow Doodle on its homepage exactly 97 years after Wong’s first leading role in a major film, The Toll of the Sea, debuted in theaters.
Wong, who died in 1961 at the age of 56 in Santa Monica, California, was born as Wong Liu Tsong in Los Angeles in 1905 to second-generation Chinese Americans as the second of seven children.
By the age of 11, she had created her stage name, Anna May Wong, and set out to become an actress.
