“Anna May Wong is finally having her moment. The silent film actor and Hollywood’s first Chinese American movie star is not only featured on a new commemorative US quarter, she’s also back on the big screen as the inspiration for the self-assured Lady Fay Zhu in Damien Chazelle’s current entry in the Oscar race, the ’20s industry tale Babylon. ⠀ For Li Jun Li, who plays Babylon’s Lady Fay, Wong was “a lone warrior”: “There were no others like her. She was isolated but obstinate in her fight against discrimination and typecasting.” Despite everything, Wong was the first Asian American to star in her own television series and the first to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. With a Gemma Chan–fronted biopic also in the works, her star is only poised to get brighter.” ⠀ Read more: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/12/anna-may-wongs-lasting-legacy-awards-insider ⠀ @vanityfair @babylonmovie @lijunli @gemmachan ⠀ Will you be watching Babylon? I have seen an advance screening of the film & have shared my thoughts with minimal spoilers in previous posts. Please keep it mind that it is not a biopic. I predict I will be getting more questions about AMW & more followers once the film is officially released in theaters - which I would welcome with open arms. 😊 . . . . . #turnerclassicmovies #lijunli #oldhollywoodglamour #oldhollywoodglam #retrohollywood #oldhollywoodactress #goldenageofhollywood #gemmachan #oldhollywoodmovies #oldhollywood #oldhollywoodstars #babylonmovie #annamaywongforever #oldhollywoodglamour #annamaywongstyle #annamaywonglives #annamaywongrealness #goldenera #annamaywong #classicmovies #annamaywongpic #oldmovies #annamaywong💎 #annamaywongfeature #annamaywongtribute #annamaywong✨ #annamaywonginspired #oldcinema #annamaywongactress #uscurrency https://www.instagram.com/p/CmZXb7BsJCT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sylvester Stallone, la sua grande sconfitta: battuto dalla fame
Sylvester Stallone, la fame, la prima sconfitta
Conosciamo Sylverster Stallone come un eroe tormentato dello schermo. Un uomo che lotta, che soffre. E che solo talvolta vince. Ma questa sconfitta fu molto più dura di quelle di Rocky o di Rambo
Se non fosse l’eroe per eccellenza, Sylvester Stallone sarebbe un perfetto antieroe. Molto del suo successo nasce dalla sofferenza, dalle sconfitte inevitabili, e per questo onorevoli. Dalla volontà…
