How about another delightful Pride Month delight? Here is a little Gender Fuck Thursday Glamour from Chinese-American trailblazer and under-appreciated Hollywood icon Anna May Wong. Considered the first Chinese-American movie star, Wong’s career spanned silent film to the golden age of cinema, television and beyond. She’s having a bit of a moment now as Michelle Krusiec (of “Saving Face” fame and lesbian adoration) plays her in Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series “Hollywood.” I haven’t been watching, so I have no idea if the show addresses Wong’s same-sex attractions. The actress is rumored to have had affairs with other Hollywood greats like Marlene Dietrich (who she also starred with in the 1932 hit “Shanghai Express.”) Well, if true that just confirms that both actresses apparently had excellent taste in women. Again, I don’t know if that’s true, but I do know Wong looks damn handsome in a full tux and top hat. Damn handsome indeed.
