Filipinos in Hollywood

Going back to the 1920s, Filipinos wanted to work in Hollywood, but they would be marginalized for other types of jobs: waiters, busboys, dishwashers, cooks, houseboys, janitors and chauffeurs. In these positions, they worked at major restaurants, in the homes of the rich and famous, who were part of the Hollywood entertainment industry. For many, many years, Filipinos were "the least documented Asians in Hollywood."  Eventually many of them rose up in the ranks of the entertainment industry and recognized for their ability and talent.
