About the Book

Esta entrada en la innovadora series de "Historia" de libros por capítulos biográficos se enfoca en Anna May Wong, cuya carrera pionera en Hollywood creó un nuevo camino para generaciones de actores asíatico-americanos.

This entry in the innovative "Story" line of chapter-book biographies focuses on Anna May Wong, whose trail-blazing career in Hollywood broke new ground for future generations of Asian American actors.

Nacida en 1905, Anna May Wong pasó su infancia trabajando en la lavandería de su familia en el barrio chino de Los Ángeles. Siempre que podía permitírselo, Anna May iba al cine, escapando a un mundo de aventuras, glamour y emoción. Después de ver la filmación de una película en su vecindario, la joven Anna May quedó enganchada. ¡Decidió que se convertiría en estrella de cine!

Anna May luchó por seguir una carrera como actriz en Hollywood en la década de 1930. Había muy pocos roles para los asiático-americanos y muchos eran degradantes y estereotipados. Anna May aprovechó al máximo cada parte limitada. Trabajó duro y siempre dio su mejor desempeño. Finalmente, después de años de papeles insatisfactorios, Anna May comenzó a buscar papeles más significativos para ella y otros actores asiático-americanos. Su determinación enérgica frente a la discriminación es una inspiración para todos los que deben superar obstáculos para realizar sus sueños.

Este libro por capítulos incluye ilustraciones en blanco y negro, así como barras laterales sobre temas relacionados, una línea de tiempo, un glosario y lecturas recomendadas. Perfecto para lectores que buscan pasar de libros ilustrados al siguiente nivel de lectura.

Born in 1905, Anna May Wong spent her childhood working in her family's laundry in Los Angeles's Chinatown. Whenever she could afford it, Anna May slipped off to the movies, escaping to a world of adventure, glamour, and excitement. After seeing a movie being filmed in her neighborhood, young Anna May was hooked. She decided she would become a movie star!

Anna May struggled to pursue an acting career in Hollywood in the 1930s. There were very few roles for Asian Americans, and many were demeaning and stereotypical. Anna May made the most of each limited part. She worked hard and always gave her best performance. Finally, after years of unfulfilling roles, Anna May began crusading for more meaningful roles for herself and other Asian American actors. Her spirited determination in the face of discrimination is an inspiration to all who must overcome obstacles so that their dreams may come true.

This chapter book includes black-and-white illustrations as well as sidebars on related subjects, a timeline, a glossary, and recommended reading. Perfect for readers looking to move from picture books to the next reading level.
