These adventures are great. Tremendous details of Wong's time in Great Britain. I was aware of some of it, but haven't seen anything as detailed. Sometimes makes me wonder why she ever left Europe!

Why do we love stories from the early 20th C of Hollywood movie stars mingling with British nobility? I'm ready to see this story on the screen one day.

Katie-

It was great to chat (briefly) with you at the Pico House event!

These posts are incredible! Keep em comin’!
