"In 1956, Anna received a long-deferred chance to play a role she lost out on in 1940s Hollywood. Playing the Asian blackmailer in W. Somerset Maugham's "The Letter" on television, the director of the series was none other than William Wyler, who had originally nixed the idea of her playing the role in Bette Davis's classic film version of The Letter (1940). The role instead went to non-Asian Gale Sondergaard." ~IMDb

Upscaled to HD from its original size (640x480) and improved the image quality using AI technology from Topaz Labs.

The Gallery of Anna May Wong YouTube Channel intends to educate and raise awareness of Anna May Wong, other classic film stars that are also people of color, Old Hollywood, The Silent Era & its Movies, Classic Film, Ethnic Studies, and the importance of analyzing the past, present & future of film and history.
