Toshia Mori (としあ もり, January 1, 1912 – November 26, 1995) was a Japanese born actress, who had a brief career in American films during the 1930s. Born as Toshiye Ichioka (としえ いちおか

)[1] in Kyoto, Mori moved to the United States when she was ten years old.

Early life and career

Mori began her film career in silent films in the late 1920s. In Mr. Wu (1927) she was credited as Toshia Ichioka. In Streets of Shanghai (1927), she was credited as Toshiye Ichioka. In The Man Without a Face[2] she was also credited as Toshiye Ichioka, her birth name. (The film is presumed lost.)[3] Finally, she entered the sound era as Toshia Mori.

Mori played Miss Ling, in The Hatchet Man (1932).[4] In the same year, she played another Chinese character, "Butterfly", in Roar of the Dragon, an action-melodrama produced by David O. Selznick. The storyline consisted of a group of Occidentals turning to an alcoholic riverboat captain Chauncey Carson (Richard Dix) for help when they are trapped at a hotel in a Mandarin town under siege.[5]

In 1932, Toshia became the only Asian and non-Caucasian actress to be selected as a WAMPAS Baby Star, an annual list of young and promising film actresses.[6] WAMPAS may have led to the most significant film role of her career, for shortly afterwards she appeared in Frank Capra's film The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1933), a role which was scheduled for Anna May Wong at first. The story involved the erotically charged relationship between a missionary (Barbara Stanwyck) and a Chinese warlord (Nils Asther). The script also featured a vital character, "Mah-Li", a concubine whose scheming throws a spanner into the plots and plans of those around her. Capra and Columbia Pictures, both extremely happy with Mori's work, awarded her third billing. Time magazine's favorable review read: "Stanwyck is satisfactory … but the most noteworthy female member of the cast is Toshia Mori, a sloe-eyed Japanese girl…"[7]

Mori returned to minor characters in her subsequent films, in The Painted Veil (1934), starring Greta Garbo, she materializes as the centerpiece of "The Moon Festival" sequence. In Chinatown Squad (1935) she played "Wanda".[8]

In Charlie Chan on Broadway in 1937. Lee (Keye Luke) becomes involved with Ling Tse (Toshia Mori), an employee of the Hottentot Club.

Post-cinema life

In 1930, Mori married Allen Jung, a Chinese-American from San Francisco.[9] After her film career ended, Mori worked as a researcher for Robert Ripley on his short films, Ripley's Believe It or Not. She died in The Bronx, New York, aged 83. She is interred at the Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, New York.[10]
