Hollywood trailblazer Anna May Wong to be first Asian American featured on U.S. currency

Hollywood trailblazer and international film star Anna May Wong will be the first Asian American featured on a United States coin.

Wong rose to stardom in the 1920s, breaking barriers while facing entrenched discrimination as America’s first movie star of Asian descent. She will be the fifth woman this year honored in the American Women Quarters Program.

The newest quarter honoring Wong, to be released Monday, will feature a close-up image of Wong’s face, her chin resting on a hand, “surrounded by the bright lights of a marquee sign,” according to the U.S. Mint.

The coin’s launch will be celebrated Nov. 4 at the Paramount Pictures theater, with a special screening of Wong’s most famous 1932 movie that she stars in, “Shanghai Express.” There will also be a panel discussion featuring Wong’s niece, Anna Wong.

Wong, a third-generation Chinese American and Los Angeles native, was first cast as an extra, at age 14, in the 1919 film “The Red Lantern” but soon after landed her first leading role in the 1922 film “The Toll of the Sea.” She went on to appear in more than 60 movies, including silent films and the first shot in color, but also worked on television, in theater productions and became known as a fashion icon throughout her decades-long career.
