Delicately beautiful Chinese-American actress (real name Luong Liu Tsong), a star in Hollywood from the silent days, who occasionally appeared in British films.

The first of the latter was E.A.Dupont's Piccadilly (1929, filmed as silent, sound added), an expressionist-influenced crime thriller, and she starred in the film version of the long-running stage musical, Chu-Chin-Chow (d. Walter Forde, 1934).
