Man-lei Wong
Man-lei Wong (November 25, 2014 Hong Kong-April 8, 1998 Hong Kong) also known as Man Li Huang or Mary Wong was a Chinese actor.
She began her acting career in the late 1920s and quickly became a leading lady in Chinese silent films. Wong was known for her beauty, talent, and versatility as an actress. She appeared in more than 50 films during her career, spanning both the silent and sound eras.
Wong was one of the few Chinese actresses who successfully transitioned to Hollywood, where she starred in several films including "Daughter of Shanghai" and "Island of Lost Men". However, she faced discrimination and stereotyping as an Asian actress during Hollywood's Golden Age.
In addition to her acting career, Wong was also an accomplished painter and writer. She published a book of poetry and several articles on Chinese art.
Wong's legacy in both Chinese and Hollywood cinema has been recognized with numerous accolades and honors, including a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
