好莱坞华人

With Arthur Dong's books and documentaries, the lives of Chinese performers are being revealed. At the Forbidden City and other "Chinese-Themed" nightclubs of the time there were also Japanese performers, who pretended they were Chinese because of the anti-Japanese feelings during world war II. Other than Anna May Wong, few Asians were working in films - the subject of this excellent documentary. Hearing Nancy Kwan talk about her eventual career is fascinating.She tells the story with heart and humor. Hopefully, one day a TV series like "Boardwalk Empire" might be produced that can combine history,drama and song-and-dance and give focus to our Asian American population. Therefore, highly recommended!
