The Unexpected (Near) End Of A Great Career
3 September 2020
The real attraction here is the (unexpected) near-career end appearance of Anna May Wong. She plays a strong-willed woman in the Old West..accented by being Chinese. There's a strong vein showing the kind of garden-variety racism that Han people faced then (and now) in the episode, backlighting the struggle Miss Wong had, as an AMERICAN (3rd generation) actress.

Well worth a watch, and probably gave more Han actors work than they had in the next six months.
