I have come across some websites about the portrayal of Asians in Hollywood movies.

One is the top ten Japanese actors in Hollywood's history. Interesting to see how many we recognize!

One is about Korean Americans today.

Bottom line is that there are some positive talks about the Asian community in Hollywood.

Anybody want to come up with a list of our own? Me for Keye Luke and Anna May Wong!

Certainly George Takei for one!

Dear Virginia,

Thank you for the links about Asian-American actors. Unfortunately, one of the links has a possible virus attached to it. Both my home computer and my work computer flashed a "virus warning" signal after I clicked on the link. I believe it was the second link. Beware.

As I mention earlier on this message board, Arthur Dong's documentary "Hollywood Chinese" (2007) provides an insightful look at Asian-American actors working in Hollywood during the golden-age of the "studio system".

To purchase a DVD copy of Mr. Dong's award-winning documentary, please see my article "Beyond Charlie Chan" listed in the VIDEO section, in the STUDY area of this website.

Steve,
I have duly removed that offending link and one other that seems to be the problem.
