Queen of China (Hanoi Hanna)

Queen of China (Hanoi Hanna) (1966) is a feature film. Top cast includes Mary Woronov, Ingrid Superstar, and Angelina 'Pepper' Davis. It draws from real-world events while keeping the focus on character stakes.

Actor: Mary Woronov

Queen of China (Hanoi Hanna), based on Ronald Tavel’s scenario, loosely refers to the real-life radio show host who broadcast antiwar propaganda to American soldiers in Vietnam. It is Mary Woronov’s showcase piece, in which she metes out physical and psychological abuse to Susan Bottomly, Angelina “Pepper” Davis, and Ingrid Superstar in a room at the Chelsea Hotel. At first, the cast tries to accurately adhere to Tavel’s scenario, but by reel two it all falls apart—the performers begin to use their real names and exhibit a sort of residual stress disorder that permeates the rest of the film.
