‘Hollywood’ star Michelle Krusiec fights back tears over ‘moment of justice’ | Page Six News

Working on the Netflix show “Hollywood” was a tearjerking experience for actress Michelle Krusiec.

“The fact that I’m getting emotional should tell you a lot about how raw it is and how empowering it is to see people of color — people who are underrepresented — get a moment of justice and a moment of visibility,” she tells the Post.

Set in post-World War II era Tinseltown, Ryan Murphy’s “Hollywood” co-stars Darren Criss, Jim Parsons, Jeremy Pope, Dylan McDermott, Joe Mantello, Queen Latifah and beloved Broadway trash-talker Patti LuPone. The story follows various up-and-coming dreamers struggling to make it in showbiz — and often brushing up against society’s challenges to their race and sexuality.

Krusiec, 45, plays a fictionalized version of Anna May Wong, whom she calls a “fashion queen” considered to be the first Chinese-American movie star. (The bulk of her career was in the 1920s until her death in 1961, at age 56, from a heart attack.)

“Even when she was wearing her Oriental dresses, there was something modern about her,” Krusiec says. “It was something in her ability to wear clothes that was both of-the-period and yet modern, and that’s what I think they tried to capture.”
