Anna May Wong's Personal Collection


A few of you may know that Miss Anna May Wong (1905-1961) had donated her personal collection (letters, photos, and other precious mementos which she had been collecting throughout her career) to a major public library (not in California). I believe this happened between 1955-1958. I was fortunate enough to see a few remaining items that existed during the late 1990's. Sadly, much of the collection was not properly stored or preserved.

During the 14 years that I have been researching Miss Wong, I have gathered 1,500+ photographs and postcards; over 450 magazines (published between the 1910's-1960); rare film footage; rare radio performances; personal correspondences; original film lobby cards and posters; personal items and the many precious and invaluable interviews that I have been able to record. I also have been trying to piece her life not only by year but by month and if possible by day to day. Hopefully, this will be preserved and be accessible for future generations.

My dedication to research and properly document Anna is because that is my personal definition of a true documentarian. I am a gather of facts and documentation to verify and justify "her" truth. The historical and academic importance of this Chinese woman born in America during a time that few of us really know about is what is relevant. Much of my findings has saddened me and even suprised me as you will later find out.

Anna May Wong ~ Frosted Yellow Willows: The Woman and Her Journey

I want to thank all the people who sent me "Get Well" wishes after my return from England. The day after I returned, the doctor told me that I had pneumonia and I have been lying-low since. Well, now I am getting back to work and raring to go! The trip was a great success and I found soooo much Anna May Wong materials and can't wait until my return trip to England during March 2012 or before. This Chinese American woman was "amazing"! I've research her life and accomplishments for over 14 years and still find no end to the new discoveries to this pioneering-spirited woman.

This was a small promo trailer that we put together in 2005: http://www.anna-may-wong.com/promo1.htm . Enjoy.

Will post up-dates of the England trip in our next posting. Excuse me, now I have to get back to working on "ANNA MAY WONG ~ FROSTED YELLOW WILLOWS: THE WOMAN AND HER JOURNEY".

Anna May Wong in "Java Head" and "Tiger Bay"

ATTENTION: for you Anna May Wong Film-lovers!!

Optimum Releasing (UK) had approached "AMW~FYW" to be part of an Anna May Wong box-set with restored versions of two 1934 British films "Java Head" (with John Loder, Elizabeth Allan and Mr. Edmund Gwenn) and "Tiger Bay" (Henry Victor, Margaret Yarde). Both are talking films. "Tiger Bay" is the lesser know film but again Miss Wong has more screen presence and we get to see her portraying a strong and determined woman.
We were told that the two film set will only be available in the U.K. and Ireland June/July 2011. –

Stay tuned for further up-dates on this.
