I’ve decided to deep dive Anna May Wong’s career, as she really intrigues me as an actress, and historically, both.

I imported the BFI blu-Ray of Piccadilly, which is, I believe, the first starring role of hers to receive a blu. I also imported the Masters of Cinema release from Eureka for The Thief of Bagdad, and own multiple copies of Josef von Sternberg’s Shanghai Express with Marlene Dietrich; that one I have seen multiple times, and it served as my introduction to Wong.

It’s fantastic her career is being spotlighted. To my knowledge, this is the first time she’s been TCM’s Star Of The Month. I have two of her Silents ready to go on the DVR.
