phantasmas 10,405 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 As part of the "Inspiring Women" series, Mattel announced the release of an Anna May Wong doll for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Anna May Wong is considered to be the first Asian American movie star and the first Asian American to lead a US television show. The doll is dressed in a red gown with a golden dragon design and cape, inspired by her appearance in the 1934 movie “Limehouse Blues.” Wong's niece, Anna Wong, gave her blessing and worked closely with the brand to develop the doll in her aunt's image.
