“Anna May Wong is finally having her moment. The silent film actor and Hollywood’s first Chinese American movie star is not only featured on a new commemorative US quarter, she’s also back on the big screen as the inspiration for the self-assured Lady Fay Zhu in Damien Chazelle’s current entry in the Oscar race, the ’20s industry tale Babylon. ⠀ For Li Jun Li, who plays Babylon’s Lady Fay, Wong was “a lone warrior”: “There were no others like her. She was isolated but obstinate in her fight against discrimination and typecasting.” Despite everything, Wong was the first Asian American to star in her own television series and the first to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. With a Gemma Chan–fronted biopic also in the works, her star is only poised to get brighter.” ⠀ Read more: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/12/anna-may-wongs-lasting-legacy-awards-insider ⠀ @vanityfair @babylonmovie @lijunli @gemmachan ⠀ ⁣Will you be watching Babylon? I have seen an advance screening of the film & have shared my thoughts with minimal spoilers in previous posts. Please keep it mind that it is not a biopic. I predict I will be getting more questions about AMW & more followers once the film is officially released in theaters - which I would welcome with open arms. 😊 .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #turnerclassicmovies #lijunli #oldhollywoodglamour #oldhollywoodglam #retrohollywood #oldhollywoodactress #goldenageofhollywood #gemmachan #oldhollywoodmovies #oldhollywood #oldhollywoodstars #babylonmovie #annamaywongforever #oldhollywoodglamour #annamaywongstyle #annamaywonglives #annamaywongrealness #goldenera #annamaywong #classicmovies #annamaywongpic #oldmovies #annamaywong💎 #annamaywongfeature #annamaywongtribute #annamaywong✨ #annamaywonginspired #oldcinema #annamaywongactress #uscurrency https://www.instagram.com/p/CmZXb7BsJCT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“She used Wong’s biography, From Laundryman’s Daughter to Hollywood Legend by Graham Russell Gao Hodges, as a jumping-off point. But then Chazelle emailed her: The character would not be Anna May Wong, but would be inspired by her. She would be called Lady Fay Zhu.” ⠀ “𝙰 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚖𝚎, 𝚘𝚋𝚟𝚒𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚕𝚢, 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚊 𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚕𝚎 𝚋𝚒𝚝 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚍,” 𝚜𝚊𝚢𝚜 𝙻𝚒, 𝚠𝚑𝚘 𝚘𝚏𝚝𝚎𝚗 𝚐𝚘𝚎𝚜 𝚋𝚢 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚗𝚒𝚌𝚔𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝙻𝚒𝙻𝚒. “𝙱𝚞𝚝 𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎, 𝙸 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚛𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚍 𝚋𝚎𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝙸 𝚏𝚎𝚕𝚝 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚠𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚋𝚎 𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚎 𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚕𝚢 𝚏𝚛𝚎𝚎, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚊 𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚕𝚎 𝚕𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚗 𝚒𝚝 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚢𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚜𝚘 𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚞𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚊𝚕.” ⠀ Read more here (slight spoilers): https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/12/babylon-li-jun-li-interview-playing-anna-may-wong-onscreen-awards-insider ⠀ 🎭Fictionalized: Lady Fay Zhu is a character inspired by Anna May Wong. Lady Fay Zhu is a lesbian in this film. ⠀ “While there have been many rumors that Anna May Wong may have had affairs with women, none of these claims has ever been substantiated with much evidence. For example, I was able to confirm with Marlene Dietrich’s daughter that Marlene and AMW were never lovers. (Marlene was too busy with Josef von Sternberg, Maurice Chevalier, and Mercedes de Acosta anyway!) AMW’s romantic affairs that we do know about were with white, straight men—Tod Browning, Marshall Neilan, Constant Lambert, Eric Maschwitz (some of these, however, occurred when she was underage, so “romantic affair” is not the best term)—and are substantiated by third party observers. Of course, it’s possible that AMW was queer, but whether she ever expressed that identity remains unknown. She was also friends with many LGBTQ people who had to remain closeted, like Ramon Novarro, Judith Anderson, and Carl Van Vechten.” -Katie Gee Salisbury (@kayteesal), AMW biographer ⠀ That being said the performance of @lijunli is one of the highlights of the film. Keep in mind, it’s not biographical. #annamaywong #babylonmovie #lijunli #oldhollywood #1920s #tcm https://www.instagram.com/p/CmQkBEuMr3H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
