asians in hollywood at turner classic movies

oh my...it's been so long since i've written here!    but i was VERY excited to learn that this month, they
are featuring  ASIAN IMAGES IN FILM!   for anyone who might get the channel TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES,
it features a few of the movies or actors that i had begun to explore in my blog.   anna may wong, charlie chan in yellow face, mr. moto....it's SO COOL!  (i've never seen these before)

MOST NOTABLY, i got to watch sessue hayakawa in THE DRAGON PAINTER, an early silent film.
how AMAZING to see some japanese actors (and i believe one of the 'yellow face' actors?)   

(thanks, lili san!)

here is the link to that movie.

JUNE 19 is james shigeta in BRIDGE TO THE SUN!   omg.   total tearjerker.   highly recommend.
it also features that evening, SAYONARA.   also THE WORLD OF SUSIE WONG.
