Paris: Les Films Haïk, 1940. Vintage matte-finish postcard photograph of Chinese-American actress Anna May Wong, circa 1940s.

Frustrated by the discrimination and typecasting she faced in Hollywood, Wong spent the first half of the 1930s traveling between Europe and the US for stage and film work. She would appear in what many consider her best-remembered role during this period, alongside Marlene Dietrich in the 1932 Josef von Sternberg film "Shanghai Express."

3.5 x 5.5 inches. Near Fine.
