The woman with a wry smile in Wednesday's Google Doodle is considered to be the first Asian-American movie star in Hollywood.

Asian-American film star, Anna May Wong. is considered to be the first Asian-American movie star -- and she still has something to teach Hollywood nearly a century after she broke into it.

Wong, the daughter of Chinese immigrants, could be seen on the big screen from the 1920s to the 1960s. Though she was cast in mostly narrow, stereotypical roles early in her career in the US, she moved to Europe in the late 1920s where she worked with some of the biggest names of the day like Laurence Olivier and Marlene Dietrich.

The artist who depicted her for Google, Sophie Diao, said that she wished she knew of Wong when she was a child looking for Chinese American role models in Hollywood.
