Trivia

Under a Chinese version of her name, she became a major star in China during the late 1920s, making nine silent films there. (None are in this data base.) Billed as "the Chinese Mary Pickford" and projecting an off-screen image of a "flapper," many young Chinese women adopted her as a role model. Her studio's publicity was very vague about her background, and her American origins did not become widely known until after she left China.
