Anna May Wong (From Dave Price)


Wong, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

Here we see the original Anna May, whose picture popped up on eBay.

I remember trying to call her years ago but (you guessed it) I kept getting the Wong number.

Wasn't Carl Wong's sway pole act billed as "Swing and sway, the Wong Way?"

The local movie theater here has dozens of 8 by 10s on the wall of stars, from Charlie Chaplin to Harrison Ford; many of them signed. Of course Anna May Wong is there. I pointed her picture out to my wife, just last month, as the namesake of your Anna May. It is easy to see she has star quality.

You could write a book about how bulls were named. Like Anna May, Trilby, Topsy and so on just didn't come out of thin air. There's also the issue or re-naming animals multiple times and also "public" names versus those that were used by the elephant men.

There is a Vet in Grand Praire, Tx named "Dr. Sheets" that has a clinic on a street named Wong Way.I always wanted to go in and tell him, "Dr Sheets, my dog has the sheets!"

In Milton WI over the years there has been a bone-craqcker named Dr. Cures and one named Dr. Hammer. How's that for apt descriptions? Hope that my grammer is correct. I don't want the school principal remanding me to 4th grade.
