eastwestunion: Sessue Hayakawa was Hollywood’s first male sex symbol and as popular as Charlie Chaplin at the time. Growing fears of the “Yellow Peril” arose due to his popularity with American and European women. No longer were Asian men welcome in Hollywood, thus began the demonization of Asian men that persists to this day.Many of his films are lost and probably destroyed, along with never being talked about and erased from history. -- source link
