Can you name another Asian old-Hollywood star besides Anna May Wong? Sessue Hayakawa, whose real name is Kintarō Hayakawa, starred in over 80 films in his career in the silent film industry. Hayakawa is probably best known for his Oscar nomination for his supporting role as Colonel Saito in the film 'The Bridge on the River Kwai' (1957). Hayakawa even got to share the screen with legendary Asian actress Anna May Wong in 'Daughter of the Dragon' (1931). 📽️Video by: Gabe Jung 💬Comment “email” to sign up to our daily newsletter.⁠ ⁠ 📰Follow us for the latest Asian News @NextShark⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #reel #asiansonscreen #sessuehayakawa #asianactor #silentfilms #oldhollywood #asianrepresentation #colonelsaito #thebridgeontheriverkwai #annamaywong #daughterofthedragon
