1984
Video Modern
Trailer 2020
Part of my trailer project
- breathing some new life into older, forgotten or overlooked
films.
Mainly to spread awareness of these great films
and hopefully inspire more people to seek them out.
Director - Michael Radford
Synopsis - In a totalitarian future society, a man,
whose daily work is re-writing history,
tries to rebel by falling in love.
The official trailer really just didn't do much for this film
in my opinion.
I wanted to at least try to create something
that felt authentic to the film,
something that felt Orwellian and ominous
and gave the feeling of a foreboding future.

[
Al Pacino ] Opposite Diane
Keaton early in the film.
Michael was a more
introspective character
than Pacino would
normally take on,
the actor said.

Al Pacino on ‘The
Godfather’:
‘It’s Taken Me a
Lifetime to Accept It and Move On’
Fifty years later,
the actor looks
back on his breakthrough role:
how he was cast,
why he skipped the Oscars
and what it all
means to him now.

1935-2024
paunchy and prolific character actor
who was called “the poet of sleaze”
by the critic Roger Ebert
for his naturalistic portrayals
of repellent lowlifes and miscreants

The most enduring praise
Mr. Walsh received
also came from Mr. Ebert:
He coined the Stanton-Walsh Rule,
which asserted
that “no movie featuring
either Harry Dean Stanton
or M. Emmet Walsh
in a supporting role
can be altogether bad.”

He embraced it all
with uncanny grace,
or at least professional relish,
displaying a uniform ease

benign or malevolent,
stern or mellow

in delivering

stage, screen and television actress
whose vivid portrayals
of strong African-American women
shattered racial stereotypes
in the dramatic arts of the 1970s,
propelling her to stardom and fame
as an exemplar for civil rights
(...)
In a remarkable career
of seven decades,
Ms. Tyson broke ground
for serious Black actors
by refusing to take parts
that demeaned Black people.
She urged Black colleagues
to do the same,
and often went without work.
She was critical of films
and television programs
that cast Black characters
as criminal, servile or immoral,
and insisted
that African-Americans,
even if poor or downtrodden,
should be portrayed
with dignity.
Her chiseled face
and willowy frame,
striking even in her 90s,
became familiar to millions
in more than 100 film,
television and stage roles,
including
some that had traditionally
been given only
to white actors.
She won three Emmys
and many awards
from civil rights
and women’s groups,
and at 88 became
the oldest person
to win a
Tony,
for her 2013 Broadway role
in a revival of Horton Foote’s
“The Trip to Bountiful.”

Dean Stockwell (...) began
his
seven-decade acting career

the 1940s
and later had
key roles in films
including
“A Long Day’s
Journey Into Night”
in 1962

Velvet” in 1986,
while also
making
his mark in television,
most notably
as
the cigar-smoking Al Calavicci
on the hit
science fiction series
“Quantum Leap,”
(...)
Mr. Stockwell
had
a hot-and-cold
relationship
with acting that caused him
to leave show business

But he

more than 200

Maria Grazia Morgana Messina USA 1930-2018
Before March 1972,
Morgana King was known
as a jazz singer
with an impressive vocal range
and an ability
to put a
distinctive spin
on an eclectic selection
of
songs.
But by late that month,
although she remained
an accomplished singer,
millions of moviegoers
thought of her
as Vito Corleone’s wife.
Ms. King had never been
in a feature film
before playing Mama Corleone
in “The Godfather,”
which after its release
that
month became
one of the most
acclaimed movies of all time.
She was in “Godfather II” as well
and had a smattering
of other television and film
credits,
but music was always her passion.

spunky but innocent ingénues
in scores of Depression-era films

From 1932 to 1939,
when she was
in her late teens and early 20s,
Ms. Carlisle made 50 movies,
including three musicals
opposite Bing Crosby:
“College Humor”
(1933),
“Double or Nothing”
(1937)
and “Doctor Rhythm”
(1938).
Even in pre-Code films
(those made before censorship
ruled Hollywood studios)
like “Should Ladies Behave”
(1933),
she was more curious than sinful.

Reynolds

in Deliverance

In
1977's
Smokey and the Bandit,
Jackie Gleason

on
whether Bandit

Smokey's roadblocks

The smile,

Peter Vaughan (Peter Ewart Ohm) UK 1923-2016
Peter Vaughan (...) was one
of the most distinctive and menacing
of character actors on stage and
screen
in a career spanning seven decades
and ranging from West End comedy
to Dickens and Our Friends in the
North
on television,
to movies with Frank Sinatra
and Tallulah Bankhead,
and encompassing a string
of unpleasant authority figures.
With his bulky figure,
small eyes and prognathous jaw,
he usually played
the type of
character
you would not want to bump
into on a dark night
in a darker
alley,
even though, in real life,
Vaughan was known
for his
conviviality,
kindness to animals
and devotion to
his family
(...)
his ex- ceptional turn
– uncharacteristically quiet
and intensely moving –
as the old servant,
father to Anthony Hopkins’s
head
butler, in James Ivory’s
The Remains of the
Day (1993);
an accident with a tea tray
he sends flying
across the garden
patio
results in a demotion,
by his own
son,
to mops-and-brushes duty.

film
“School Daze,”
also written and
directed
by Mr. Lee.

the critically acclaimed
“Do the Right

played
the iconic Radio Raheem,

Gene Wilder USA 1933-2016
born
Jerome Silberman
Gene Wilder
(...)
established himself
as one of
America’s
foremost comic actors
with his
delightfully
neurotic performances
in three films directed
by Mel Brooks;
his eccentric
star turn
in the family classic
“Willy Wonka
and
the Chocolate Factory”;
and his winning
chemistry
with Richard Pryor
in the
box-office smash
“Stir Crazy”
(...)
Mr. Wilder’s rule for comedy
was simple:
Don’t try to
make it funny;
try to make it real.
“I’m an actor, not a clown,”
he said more than once.
With his haunted blue eyes
and an empathy
born
of his own history
of psychic distress,
he aspired to
touch audiences
much as Charlie Chaplin had.
The Chaplin film “City Lights,”
he said, had
“made the
biggest impression
on me as an actor;
it was funny,
then sad,
then both
at the same time.”

Nova Margery
Pilbeam UK 1919-2015
English
actress
who was best
known
for her roles
in the Alfred
Hitchcock thrillers
“The Man Who Knew Too Much”
and
“Young and
Innocent,”
but who retired
from motion pictures
in the late
1940s,
before she was
30
(...)
A delicate
beauty
who worked
entirely in Britain,
Ms. Pilbeam began her career
as a child
actress
in the early ’30s.
She came
to
international attention
in the original
version
of “The Man Who Knew Too Much”
(1934),
in which she
portrayed
the kidnapped daughter of a man,
played by Leslie
Banks,
who has stumbled
onto an assassination plot.

Maureen O’Hara
Ireland 1920-2015
(born Maureen FitzSimons)
spirited Irish-born actress
who played strong-willed,
tempestuous beauties
opposite all
manner of adventurers
in escapist
movies
of the 1940s and ’50s
(...)
Ms. O’Hara was
called
the Queen of Technicolor,
because when
that film process
first came into use,
nothing seeme
to show off its splendor
better than her
rich red hair,
bright green eyes
and flawless peaches-and-cream
complexion.
One critic
praised her
in an otherwise negative review
of the 1950 film
“Comanche Territory”
with the sentiment
“Framed in
Technicolor,
Miss O’Hara somehow seems
more significant
than a setting sun.”
Even the
creators of the process
claimed her
as
its best advertisement.
Yet many of the
films
that made the
young
Ms. O’Hara a star
were in black
and white.
They included
her first Hollywood movie,
“The Hunchback of Notre Dame”
(1939),
in which she
played
the haunted Gypsy girl Esmeralda
to Charles
Laughton’s
Quasimodo;
the
Oscar-winning
“How Green Was
My Valley”
(1941),
in which she was
memorable
as a Welsh
mining family’s
beautiful daughter
who marries the
wrong man;
“This Land Is
Mine”
(1943),
a war drama
in which she was
directed
by Jean Renoir;
and “Miracle on
34th Street”
(1947),
the holiday
classic
in which she played
a cynical, modern Macy’s
executive
who tries to prevent her
daughter
from believing in Santa Claus.

Ms. Pitt, who had spent
her childhood
in a Nazi concentration camp,
later scoured Europe
in search of her vanished father
and still later was forced
to flee East Germany
a step ahead of the police,
chose horror.
It was a genre

The American Friend himself, 1976, by Wim Wenders
Wim Wenders on My Polaroid Friends:
‘I shot The American Friend in Hamburg and Paris.
It starred Bruno Ganz and Dennis Hopper
and was based on the novel Ripley’s Game by Patricia
Highsmith.
At the time,
Polaroid photographs corresponded
to what you’d now do on your smartphone.
I shot my actors during preparation and between scenes.
Even in the story, Polaroids were used,
in our case by Dennis Hopper who played Tom Ripley
and who became so much our ‘American Friend’
during the film that we changed its title from Framed’

William Dennis Weaver USA 1924-2006
Dennis Weaver (s')
portrayal of Deputy Chester Goode
in the classic television western
"Gunsmoke"
made him the favorite sidekick
of the early television era
(...)
The lanky Mr. Weaver
became famous
for his limping deputy
with a
drawl,
the buddy of Marshal Matt Dillon,
a portrayal for which
he won an Emmy in 1959.
But he starred
in nine television series.
From 1955 to 1964,
he was on "Gunsmoke,"
the longest-running
prime-time drama series
on television.
He also starred in "Gentle Ben,"
from 1967 to 1969,
playing Tom Wedloe,
an Everglades ranger
who adopts a black bear
as a pet.
He went from nerd
to sex symbol in "McCloud,"
playing Sam McCloud,
a New Mexico deputy marshal
on loan to the New York City
police,
who sometimes rode his horse
through the city streets.
"McCloud,"
which was broadcast
from 1970 to
1977,
earned him
two Emmy nominations.
Mr. Weaver
also had leading roles
in 40 motion pictures,
including
Orson Welles's 1958
film
"Touch of Evil,"
and the 1971 classic
"Duel,"
directed by a young
Steven
Spielberg,
made for television
but released theatrically
in
Europe.
In it he played the prey
of a murderous truck,
with an unseen driver.

the grime

-
so Rickards (...)
mastered a look

innovation.

Eldred Gregory Peck USA 1916-2003
Gregory Peck ('s) chiseled,
slightly melancholy good looks,
resonant baritone and quiet
strength
made him an unforgettable presence
in films like ''To Kill a Mockingbird,''
''Gentleman's Agreement''
and ''Twelve O'Clock High,''
(...)
In a career
that spanned half a century,
Mr. Peck often played
morally anguished heroes
who displayed grace under fire.
In his most memorable role,
as Atticus Finch
in the 1962 film
''To Kill a Mockingbird,''
he won the Academy Award
as best actor for his performance
as a gentle Southern lawyer
who incurs the wrath
of his fellow townsfolk
when he defends a black man
accused of raping
a white woman.
In this and other movies his
persona
as the embodiment of American
decency
made him a persuasive advocate
for the liberal candidates and
causes
he supported.

Robert Stack USA 1919-2003
(born Charles Langford
Modini Stack)
Robert Stack
(...)
won an Emmy
and received
an Oscar nomination
in his 60-year career
in films and television
but was best remembered
as the implacable,
square-jawed Eliot Ness
of the 1959 series
''The
Untouchables,''
(...)
Like that of many actors
of his generation,
Mr. Stack had a career
that was bisected
by World War
II.
Before the war
he was a supporting performer
in lighter fare, perhaps best
known
for delivering the first screen
kiss
to the young Deanna Durbin
in his
debut,
''First Love,'' in 1939.
He also played the Polish aviator
whose affair with Carole Lombard
provides the comic engine
for Ernst Lubitsch's
''To Be or Not to Be'' (1942).
But after three years
in the service
he had to struggle
to regain his career footing,
eventually emerging
as a gritty, taciturn leading man
in Budd Boetticher's
''Bullfighter and the Lady''
(1951),
Sam Fuller's
''House of Bamboo''
(1955)
and ''Bwana Devil'' (1952),
the movie that started
the decade's 3-D craze.

James Harrison Coburn USA 1928-2002
rugged actor who reveled
in playing rakish men of action
and slyly humorous villains
and overcame
a debilitating illness
to win an Academy Award
for his performance
in ''Affliction'' in 1998
(...)
A man of lean good looks,
Mr. Coburn first established
his reputation in
''The Magnificent Seven'' in 1960
and went on to star
in more than 80 movies,
many of them Westerns
and action films, including
''The Great Escape,''
''Charade,''
and ''Our Man Flint.''
His lanky body
and Mephistophelean laugh
led directors to type him
as a villain,
and though he became
well known for those roles
he never made it
to the front rank
of Hollywood stars.

Mary Brian USA 1906-2002
(born Louise Byrdie
Dantzler)
film star
and memorable ingénue
who bridged the silent
and early sound eras
(...)
Between ''Peter Pan'' in 1924
and ''Dragnet'' in 1947
Ms. Brian appeared
in 82 films.
Petite, with blue-gray eyes
and dark-brown
curls,
she was one of Hollywood's
romantic leading
ladies
from the mid-1920's
through the late 30's.
While she did not rank
with superstars like Clara Bow
or Mary Pickford,
she was a bankable
contract player
and a gratifying attraction
at the box office.
Her leading men were the likes
of Gary Cooper, Lew Ayres,
James Cagney, Cary Grant,
William Haines, Warner Oland
and
Dick Powell.

Hedy Lamarr
Austria, USA 1914-2000
(born Hedwig Eva Maria
Kiesler)
raven-haired Viennese beauty
who became one
of the reigning temptresses
in Hollywood films
in the 1930's and 40's,
especially as Delilah vamping
Victor Mature's Samson
(...)
Miss Lamarr
was forever identified
with ''Ecstasy,''
a 1933 Czech film
in which she appeared nude
in a swimming scene
and in a lovemaking sequence
that was torrid for its time.
The film was banned
in many places
in the United States
for a number of years.
But even though
most Americans never saw it,
''Ecstasy''
excited their interes
in the actress
and shaped her career.

Charles Edward "Buddy" Rogers USA 1904-1999
handsome leading man
and band
leader
who starred in ''Wings'' (1927),
the first film to win an Academy
Award,
and who later married Mary
Pickford,
''America's Sweetheart,''
(...)
Six feet tall, slim
and with brown eyes and black
hair,
Mr. Rogers was a versatile
musician
whose almost inadvertent screen
career
catapulted him to immediate
stardom.
But in some 35 films
between 1926 and 1957
-- vehicles with titles like
''Fascinating Youth,''
''So's
Your Old Man,''
''My Best Girl,''
''Abie's Irish
Rose,'' ''Varsity,''
''Dance Band,'' ''Golden Hoofs''
and ''Mexican Spitfire's Baby''
--
he never impressed critics
as more than a pleasant
performer.
He portrayed pilots,
college boys,
salesmen and
lawyers,
but he was best remembered
for his starring role
as an
all-American boy
who goes off to fight the Hun
as a member of the Army Air Corps
in William A. Wellman's
classic World War I spectacle,
''Wings,''
whose cast included Richard
Arlen,
Clara Bow and Gary Cooper.
For his portrayal
of the young airman,
Paramount Pictures
paid Mr. Rogers $65 a week
and gave him
three suits of
clothes
as a gift.
After seeing him in ''Wings,''
Miss Pickford, one of film's
foremost and
wealthiest stars,
asked that he be cast
in her next
film,
'My Best Girl.''
In that whimsical 1927 film,
she played Maggie Johnson,
a pretty salesgirl
in a
5-and-10-cent store
who captures the heart
of Joe Merrill (Mr. Rogers),
not knowing he is the son
of the owner
of the chain of
stores.
Miss Pickford,
who had been married
since 1920
to her second husband,
Douglas
Fairbanks,
captured Mr. Rogers's
heart
off-screen as well,
although they were not married
until 1937,
after Miss Pickford
and Mr.
Fairbanks
were divorced.
In later years, Mr. Rogers,
who was 11 years younger
than Miss Pickford,
was fond of recalling
that Clark Gable
''once told Mary,
when we got married,
that it wouldn't last
six
months.''
Their marriage ended only
with Miss Pickford's death at 86
in 1979.

Frederick Martin MacMurray USA 1908-1991
personable, unassuming actor
who starred
in some of the best film comedies
of the 1930's and 40's
and was later the protagonist
in popular Walt Disney fantasies
and the television situation comedy
"My Three Sons,"
(...)
Reviewers repeatedly praised
the charm, credibility
and spontaneity
of the 6-foot-3-inch-tall,
pipe-smoking former saxophonist
who had never studied acting.
He had a good-guy image
in nearly 80 films,
but his most noted roles
were cads -- a passion-crazed
murderer
in "Double Indemnity"
(1944)
and "Pushover"
(1954),
a deceitful Navy lieutenant
in "The Caine Mutiny"
(1954)
and an exploitative philanderer
in "The Apartment"
(1960).

Barbara Stanwyck USA 1907-1990
luminous star
of such classic movies
as ''Stella Dallas,''
''The Lady Eve''
and ''Double Indemnity''
and the award-winning
western television series
''The Big Valley,''
(...)
The actress played
a rich mix of characterizations
in more than 80 films
but developed
a distinctive image
as a gutsy, self-reliant
and self-assured woman
whose husky voice
and cool exterior
usually masked a warm heart.
She was a tough-talking
but vulnerable mother
in ''Stella Dallas''
(1937),
a slang-slinging showgirl
in ''Ball of Fire''
(1941),
a lurid blonde who orchestrates
her husband's murder
in ''Double Indemnity''
(1944)
and a bedridden neurotic
who learns
from telephone quirks
that she is marked for murder
in ''Sorry, Wrong Number''
(1948).

Charles Farrell USA 1900-1990
gentle-mannered actor
whose career spanned
four
decades,
ranging from silent films to
talkies
to the 1950's television series
''My Little Margie,''
(...)
An athletic six-footer,
he gained fame
as the romantic lead
in ''Seventh Heaven'' (1927).
The Times critic Mordaunt Hall
said that he was ''splendid''
in
that role,
playing opposite Janet Gaynor.
''Sometimes he may seem
to be a little too swaggering,
but what of it?''
Mr. Hall observed.
''The actions
suit the young man's
agreeable
bombast.
You find that you like him.''
The Seventh Heaven
in the silent
film
was the walk-up Parisian garret
where Mr. Farrell,
playing an impecunious laborer,
made his home.
Mr. Farrell and Miss Gaynor
then co-starred in a series
of other film
romances.
For seven years
they were movieland's
leading on-screen
romantic
couple.
Then his movie career waned.
His film work included
serious as well as romantic roles
in such films as
''Wings of Youth'' (1925),
''Sandy'' (1926),
''The Rough Riders'' (1927), '
'Aggie Appleby'' (1933),
''Fighting Youth'' (1935)
and ''The Deadly Game'' (1942).
He retired from films
in the 1940's.
In television
he turned to comedy,
starring as a widowed father
in more than 100 installments
of ''My Little Margie,''
which was widely popular.

The Lady from Shanghai (1947)
Released in 1947,
starring Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth,
this classic noir was based on the book
If I Die Before I Wake
by Sherwood King,
and the film version was written and directed
by
Welles.
The photo, taken by Robert Coburn (1900-1990)
during the film’s funhouse mirror segment
is one of the most imitated movie sequences of all time,
most notably in the Bruce Lee film Enter the Dragon

Mary Louise Brooks USA 1906-1985
Miss Brooks's films
included two early masterpieces
made by Georg Wilhelm Pabst,
the German director, in 1929
- ''Pandora's Box,''
in which she played
the amoral temptress Lulu,
and ''Diary of a Lost Girl,''
where she was cast
in the role of a middle-class
girl of 16 who is seduced.
The 21-year-old American dancer
from Cherryvale, Kan.,
was chosen to play Lulu in Berlin
over several German actresses,
including Marlene Dietrich.
She had left Hollywood in 1928
after B. P. Schulberg,
the Paramount executive,
had turned down her request
for a raise.
Among her Hollywood films were
''American Venus'' (1926),
''The Show-Off'' (1926),
''Evening Clothes'' (1927),
''Rolled Stockings'' (1927)
and ''A Girl in Every Port''
(1928).
When she returned from Germany,
her disputes
with the Hollywood executives
continued
and she appeared only
in minor roles
- in ''God's Gift to Women''
(1931)
and ''The Public Enemy'' (1931),
among others.
Her last film was
''Overland Stage Riders'' (1938),
a John Wayne western.

Sterling Walter Hayden USA 1916-1986
(born Sterling Relyea
Walter)
handsome blond actor
who played wholesome
leading-man movie roles
in the 1940's and 1950's
and later weathered
into a rough-hewn solid
character
actor in films such as
''Dr.
Strangelove''
and ''The Godfather,''
(...)
He made more than 50 movies,
beginning with ''Virginia'' in
1941,
but his abiding love was the sea.
He owned a schooner in California
and a 100-foot,
Netherlands-based canal barge
he used all over Europe.
The strapping,
6-foot-5-inch Mr.
Hayden,
who made a notable impression
with his acting in John Huston's
''Asphalt Jungle'' (1950),
in which he appeared
as a doomed petty hoodlum,
found it difficult
to subjugate his love for the sea
to his need to make a living
as
an actor.
(...)
He wrote of his obsessive
fascination with the sea
in a 1963 autobiography,
''Wanderer,''
in which he also said
he would never be able
to erase the guilt he felt
over his testimony, in 1951,
before the House Committee
on Un-American Activities.
Mr. Hayden had admitted
past membership
in the Communist Party
and named several
of his Hollywood acquaintances
as fellow travelers.
He was praised by the committee
as ''an intensely loyal
citizen,''
and thus avoided
being
blacklisted in Hollywood.

George O'Brien USA 1899-1985
George O'Brien
(...)
acted in 75
films,
including the westerns
''Fort
Apache''
and John Ford's
''Iron Horse,''
(...)
He began his film career
in the early 20's,
when a friend introduced him
to Tom Mix, a star of Westerns.
Mr. Mix hired Mr. O'Brien
as an assistant cameraman
at $15 a week.
Eventually
Mr. O'Brien moved into jobs
as a stuntman and extra,
including one that called
for him to be knocked
by Rudolph Valentino
from the rigging of ship
into the sea.
In 1924, Mr. O'Brien was chosen
for his first starring role,
in ''The Iron Horse.''
One of his most acclaimed roles
was in the silent film
''Sunrise,''
which also starred Janet Gaynor.
During the 1920's and 30's,
he worked with some
of the biggest names in
Hollywood,
including Mary Astor, Wallace
Beery,
Douglas Fairbanks Jr., William
Powell
and Myrna Loy.
After World War II,
he appeared
in a number of Western epics,
including ''Fort Apache,''
with John Wayne,
Henry Fonda and Shirley Temple,
and ''She Wore a Yellow Ribbon,''
also with Mr. Wayne.
His last film was
Mr. Ford's ''Cheyenne Autumn,''
in 1964.

Richard Burton UK 1925-1984
1984
Video Modern
Trailer 2020
Part of my trailer project
- breathing some new life into older, forgotten or overlooked
films.
Mainly to spread awareness of these great films
and hopefully inspire more people to seek them out.
Director - Michael Radford
Synopsis - In a totalitarian future society, a man,
whose daily work is re-writing history,
tries to rebel by falling in love.
The official trailer really just didn't do much for this film
in my opinion.
I wanted to at least try to create something
that felt authentic to the film,
something that felt Orwellian and ominous
and gave the feeling of a foreboding future.

He's a purist.''

In more than 200 films
made over 50 years,
John Wayne saddled up
to become the greatest figure
of one of America's
greatest native art forms,
the Western.
The movies he starred in
rode the range from
out-of-the-money
sagebrush quickies
to such classics
as "Stagecoach"
and "Red River."
He won an Oscar as best actor
for another western, "True Grit,"
in 1969.
Yet some of the best films he made
told stories far from the wilds
of the West,
such as
"The Quiet Man"
and
"The Long Voyage Home."

Robert Bushnell Ryan USA 1909-1973
The husky rugged actor's
renown was anchored
in some 90 motion pictures
in which he appeared
over the last 30 years.
He considered
only four or five of them
to be any good,
he said in an interview
a couple of years ago.
His favorite was “The SetUp,”
which was released in 1949
and in which he played the role
of Stoker Thompson,
an aging but determined pugilist.
He also esteemed “Crossfire,”
a 1947 movie in which
he portrayed a bigoted marine
who kills a Jewish war veteran.
The depiction was
“frighteningly real,”
the critic for
The New York Times wrote.

The First Chinese
American Movie Star
and the Cost of Glittering Fame
A new biography of
Anna May Wong
“Daughter of the
Dragon,”
is intended as a
form of reclamation and subversion.
NYT
August 23, 2023
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/23/
books/review/yunte-huang-daughter-of-the-dragon.html
Wong’s career stretched
from silent cinema
through the talkies
and the golden age
of Hollywood, to TV.
Her first lead role was
in the 1922 Technicolor film
The Toll of the Sea,
and she went on
to appear alongside
Douglas Fairbanks
and Marlene Dietrich.
On the small screen
she starred in the first US TV
show
to have an Asian American lead.
She was always captivating
on
camera: in her best roles
she is deadly
serious,
with a provocative air
of
jazz-age cool.
