Auction History Result 2d131 ANNA MAY WONG 8x10 key book still '30s great seated close up of the beautiful Asian actress! Date Sold 10/5/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 7 1/2" x 9 3/4" [19 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Anna May Wong was a Chinese-American actress from the 1910s to the 1960s. Some of her movies include: Shanghai Express, Thief of Bagdad, Impact, Across to Singapore, and Piccadilly. Unfortunately, due to the prejudices of the time, the studios cast white actresses over her, even in Asian roles, having the white actresses perform in "yellowface", which meant that Miss Wong would almost always play a friend or enemy of the white actress in the lead Asian role! She passed away in 1961 at the age of 56. Important Added Info: Note that the still is glued to a linen-like backing (we think it is highly likely this was a key book still, and that someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top of the still, no doubt so it could be put in a frame). Condition: good to very good. There are some faint scuffs scattered in the still and a thumbnail crease in the bottom center. Learn More about condition grades
