Autograph of Anna May Wong (1905–1961) - A vintage postcard featuring a portrait of the pioneering Chinese American actress recognized as the first female Asian American Hollywood star. She appeared in 60+ movies, starting as a silent film star in the 1920s before transitioning successfully to talkies. Wong was celebrated as a fashion icon of her era, known for popularizing the flapper look and wearing intricate, stylized costumes. Despite facing racial prejudice and stereotypical roles, she maintained a long career and was recently honoured as the first Asian American to appear on US currency. The postcard shows her autograph in both English and Chinese characters, a common practice for her public interactions.
