Star of the Month: Anna May Wong

TCM, beginning at 7 p.m.

Enjoy three more films featuring pioneering Chinese American movie star Anna May Wong First is the drama “Piccadilly” (1929), Wong’s last silent film and one of her British production­s. It made a splash in Britain thanks to Wong’s sensual performanc­e and dance scenes. A Variety review pointed out that Wong outshines the movie’s top-billed actress, Gilda Gray. The next film features another instance where Wong has been seen to have upstaged her higher-billed co-star. This time, it is in sexually charged scenes with the legendary Marlene Dietrich in Josef von Sternberg’s romantic adventure “Shanghai Express” (1932). Concluding the triple feature is “Daughter of the Dragon” (1931), which co-stars Sessue Hayakawa, who, with Wong, was one of the few well-known actors of Asian heritage at that time. Wong, in one of the last of the stereotypi­cal scheming “dragon lady” roles she was frequently offered portrays the vengeful daughter of Dr. Fu Manchu (Swedish American actor Warner Oland in another example of the racist “yellowface” practice common to that era).
