Technically, it’s not 2023 for me yet. 🤣 (I’m in California!) However, I thought it’d be fun to showcase these photos Better Home & Gardens took of Anna May Wong’s place of residence at the time. It’s a set of 12 photos, though, I’m sure there are more out there. I’m sharing 3 photos now, and the rest I’m spreading out until her birthday on Jan 3rd. I adore the darling photos of her typing on her typewriter & writing with a quill pen. And of course, this main photo with a portrait of her on the wall. 🥺 Some home decor inspiration, for sure! Credits: https://csl.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01CSL_INST/hbrh2d/alma990013874150205115 Any goals planned for 2023? I’m recording a podcast show over at @oldhollywoodminds if anyone is interested. . . . #annamaywong #annamaywongtribute #annamaywongfan #annamaywong💎 #annamaywongactress #annamaywongpic #annamaywongforever #annamaewongfans #annamaywongstyle #annamaywong✨ #annamaywongrealness #chineseamericanactress #1930smoviestars #annamaewong #classicfilmfans #1920smoviestars #asianexcellence #asianamericanhistory #oldhollywood #classicmoviestars #silentmovies #silentfilms #silentera #silentfilm #silentmovie #silentfilmstar #silentmoviestar #silentmoviestars #technicolor #goldenageofhollywood https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2ykkXOP7B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"It Had to Happen", released on Valentine's Day, 1936, starred George Raft and Rosalind Russell in their only screen pairing. The original print ad tagline proclaimed, "The "Rendezvous" Girl Keeps A Daring Date With The Screen's Irresistible Lover!" A well-wrought story with fine performances, this film was a box office hit. georgeraft.com #rosalindrussell #georgeraft #moviestar #goldenageofhollywood #romancemovies #hollywoodstar #filmstar #1930sfashion #1930smoviestars #oldhollywood #vintageclothing #stylish https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ90N2epwRy/?utm_medium=tumblr

Marlene Dietrich was the goal, a mysterious (generic) 1930s actress was the result. 🤨 ... ... #protonghost #charcoal #portraiture #portrait #marlenedietrich #1930smoviestars #artwork #instart #instartist #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ONpu2nYme/?igshid=1q9f3ke3dv3r8

Modeling hats is rather like getting your mugshot done. "Look left, look right, forward, down," and then finally, usually just for fun, "now just your eyes to me," while the chin is still dipped to get this death-glare look. 😄 I had to include both shots--eyes closed and eyes open--in this listing because, you know: drama. 😁 . . . . . . . . . . . #1930s #1930shat #1930sfashion #1930sdress #1930sstyle #1930svintage #1930soutfit #depressionerafashion #lookofdeath #deathstare #blueeyes #1930smakeup #1930smoviestar #1930shairstyle #womenwhowearhats #hatnation #vintagehats #fashionphotography #modeling #iowamodel #vintagephotoshoot #etsyvintage #etsyfinds #etsylove #historicaldress #historicalfashion #roseleinrarities #redlips #livecolorfully #howivintage https://www.instagram.com/p/B7o8zQ0g-_l/?igshid=yhciukkq4elt

Not Your China Doll Book Cover Reveal
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
✨Book Cover Reveal of #NotYourChinaDoll - a new biography about #AnnaMayWong by Katie Gee Salisbury (@kayteesal)✨
I am excited to reveal the cover of an upcoming biography about Anna May Wong written by Katie Gee Salisbury. Some of you may simply know her by her Instagram username @kayteesal.
A backstory of how I connected with Katie: In November 2021, I stumbled upon Katie’s Twitter page while trying to figure out if an Asian woman at a Hollywood party was indeed Anna May Wong. It wasn’t. As I read her Half Caste Woman newsletter blog feverishly, I found out it was Mrs. Quon Tai Lachman. I reached out to her personally. We corresponded & connected over our love for Anna May Wong before meeting in-person in August 2022 - when I shared part of my AMW collection & notes with her. I guess we are kindred spirits in a way. Both in our mid-late 30s, we can trace our ancestry to Toisan, and share a love for film history & Anna May Wong. In December 2022, Katie asked me if I would read an early draft of Not Your China Doll. I jumped at the chance. I read the draft of her book in less than span of 1 week and was completely engrossed in the immersive world of Anna May Wong. Katie interweaves the worlds of AMW so beautifully with words and imagery of life - with its foibles. It’s a wonderful true telling of her life’s story, and debunks many of the myths about AMW. It’s well researched & she received input from people in the AMW community. I can’t wait to read this book in its final version—I only read one draft. I hope you will join me… won’t you? 😉
The book comes out in March 2024, but you can pre-order a copy now here: https://bit.ly/NotYourChinaDoll

A big THANK YOU to all of the Anna May Wong fans out there - both new & long time devotees! 😉💕 It’s incredible to think that this ig account has received 15.6K likes on Instagram. I started posting on this account on October 2021-November 2021. Took a break from it. Started posting again in January 2022. And then posting more consistently & it grew from there. I’m very grateful to the Old Hollywood/Classic Film community for embracing this account. And of the friendships I’ve created over our shared love of AMW & classic films. I don’t take for granted the amount of trust you place in me for AMW news & updates. So thank you, again! Here’s to another incredible year! . . . #annamaywong #annamaywongtribute #annamaywongfan #annamaywong💎 #annamaywongactress #annamaywongpic #annamaywongforever #annamaewongfans #annamaywongstyle #annamaywong✨ #annamaywongrealness #chineseamericanactress #1930smoviestars #annamaewong #classicfilmfans #1920smoviestars #asianexcellence #asianamericanhistory #oldhollywood #classicmoviestars #silentmovies #silentfilms #silentera #silentfilm #silentmovie #silentfilmstar #silentmoviestar #silentmoviestars #technicolor #goldenageofhollywood https://www.instagram.com/p/CmxivOOuyGI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Anna May Wong on set of Daughter of Shanghai (1937) with Virginia Dabney (blonde) & other dancers from the film I don’t recall this scene being in the movie so my best guess is that it is an on the set type photo. I love seeing her smile, don’t you? 🥺💖 . . . #annamaywong #annamaywongtribute #annamaywongfan #annamaywong💎 #annamaywongactress #annamaywongpic #annamaywongforever #annamaewongfans #annamaywongstyle #annamaywong✨ #annamaywongrealness #chineseamericanactress #1930smoviestars #annamaewong #classicfilmfans #1920smoviestars #asianexcellence #asianamericanhistory #oldhollywood #classicmoviestars #silentmovies #silentfilms #silentera #silentfilm #silentmovie #silentfilmstar #silentmoviestar #silentmoviestars #technicolor #goldenageofhollywood https://www.instagram.com/p/CmQTKgYO2T8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🪷A Day of Silents event update🪷 What a wonderful event! I’m glad I was able to attend yesterday. Each showing was packed with people of all ages, and deservedly so. With such a great audience, it makes the moviegoing experience much richer. And of course, more fun! Anna May Wong was the face on the programming book & postcards. And her name was prominently displayed on the marquee outside. ⠀ I’ll describe the screenings I attended below. ⤵️ ⠀ Pour Don Carlos (1921) feat. Musidora: I missed about the first 20 minutes of this film, but this film had me on the edge of my seat. I must look up more information on Musidora. ⠀ The Cheat (1915) feat. Sessue Hayakawa: First time watching this film. The acting & lighting was point. ⠀ Show People (1928) feat. Marion Davies & William Haines: Wow! This movie was hilarious. Consider me to be a new fan of Marion. @backlotsfilm did a wonderful intro & signed books. ⠀ The Toll of the Sea (1922) feat. Anna May Wong: What a wonderful surprise that Anna Wong, niece of AMW, introduced the film! The film with the musical accompaniment was spectacular. I also got to talk to Anna Wong briefly. She was very friendly & gracious even though I felt a little nervous & I forgot to say what my name was. She did ask for my name though, and thanked me for being a fan. ⠀ Overall, what a fun & amazing event! I hope they keep the Castro Theatre open for many years to come. . . . #annamaywong #annamaywongtribute #annamaywongfan #annamaywong💎 #annamaywongactress #annamaywongpic #annamaywongforever #annamaewongfans #annamaywongstyle #annamaywong✨ #annamaywongrealness #chineseamericanactress #1930smoviestars #annamaewong #musidora #mariondavies #sessuehayakawa #asianamericanhistory #oldhollywood #classicmoviestars #silentmovies #silentfilms #silentera #silentfilm #silentmovie #silentfilmstar #silentmoviestar #silentmoviestars #technicolor #goldenageofhollywood (at Castro Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClwWKz4vExQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

📣AMW event alert: @sfsilentfilm The Toll of the Sea screening📣 Event: A Day of Silents Date: Saturday, December 3, 2022 at 9 pm Location: Castro Theatre, 429 Castro St, San Francisco, CA 94114 Website: https://silentfilm.org/event/toll-of-the-sea/ Description: “Live music by the Sascha Jacobsen Ensemble. The earliest surviving feature displaying the two-color Technicolor process, The Toll of the Sea was restored from a rare camera negative. The story by screenwriter Francis Marion bears more than a little resemblance to Madame Butterfly and like Butterfly, its orientalism is problematic. But the melodrama is redeemed by the exquisite early color process and by Anna May Wong’s dazzling turn as the self-sacrificing Lotus Flower, her first starring role. The New York Times said, “She has a difficult role, a role that is botched nine times out of ten, but hers is the tenth performance.”” Tickets: $18 general/$16 member for The Toll of the Sea. $95 nonmembers/$85 members for the day of 6-silent movies lineup. Full lineup here: https://silentfilm.org/ados_schedule/ This film is a must see for any Anna May Wong fan! If you’re able to, please attend the screening so you can watch it “live” with an audience. Luckily, I’m from the Bay Area so I’ll be able to attend. 😉 #annamaywong #annamaywongtribute #annamaywongfan #annamaywong💎 #annamaywongactress #annamaywongpic #annamaywongforever #annamaewongfans #annamaywongstyle #annamaywong✨ #annamaywongrealness #chineseamericanactress #1930smoviestars #annamaewong #chineseamerican #asianamericanactors #asianamericans #asianamericanhistory #oldhollywood #classicmoviestars #silentmovies #silentfilms #silentera #silentfilm #silentmovie #silentfilmstar #silentmoviestar #silentmoviestars #technicolor #goldenageofhollywood https://www.instagram.com/p/CivwqsnvAcu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🌜Behind the veil of each night, there is a smiling dawn.🌞 This is what the glass-beaded fringe headpiece looks like when not lying across the crown. I have two of these original pieces from the same 1920s flapper collection. The dress is silk velvet, also from the 1920s.🖤 How lucky am I to hold these beautiful things in my possession? And how happy I am to share them with you? 😊 .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #1920sdress #1930smoviestar #1930sfashion #1920sfashion #blackvelvet #highcontrast #oldhollywood #1930sactress #blackveil #gatsbyfashion #gatsbystyle #1920svintage #1920shair #artdecofashion #roaring20s #roaringtwenties #20sfashion #roseleinrarities #personalstyle #blackbackground #1920sheadpiece #flapperfashion #silkvelvetdress #newyearoldfashion #truevintagefashion #vootd #vintageoutfitoftheday #glamourgirl #backinblack https://www.instagram.com/p/B7H2Jk2gsKB/?igshid=r4yxpiou9a7w

The darker the night, the brighter the stars. ⠀ In the night-life mood? I certainly am. Come see my latest high-contrast collection of 1920s-style embellishments: fringe, tassels, feathers, and of course, starry sequins. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #starlightstarbright #1930smoviestar #1930sfashion #1920sfashion #blacksequins #highcontrast #oldhollywood #1930sactress #blueeyes #gatsbyfashion #gatsbystyle #1920svintage #nightlife #artdecofashion #roaring20s #roaringtwenties #20sfashion #roseleinrarities #fashionphotography #blackbackground #backlighting #2020vision #happy2020 #newyearoldfashion #truevintagefashion #vootd #vintageoutfitoftheday #glamourgirl #backinblack https://www.instagram.com/p/B6yWbBOAfgk/?igshid=o4gdy3f3bnr4
