TL;DR Summary
Mattel has released an Anna May Wong Barbie doll in honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The doll is part of the Barbie "Inspiring Women" series and features Wong's trademark bangs, eyebrows, and well-manicured nails. Wong's niece worked closely with the brand to develop the doll's look, which includes a red gown with a golden dragon design and cape inspired by her appearance in the 1934 movie "Limehouse Blues." Wong was the first major Asian American movie star and the first Asian American woman to lead a U.S. television show.
