Linda Wang
| Biography |
She was "made in Tawain", but grew up in a strict Queens, NY home. Find out how she broke into the business at the very young age of 7 and how her long list of roles and co-stars would put even Kevin Bacon to shame... By: Susan Berkley.
Actress Linda Wang began her career in front of the camera at age seven as a model for Kodak films. An adorable child, Wang found frequent work in such children's television staples as Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, and later continued to appear in such popular television series as The Cosby Show and The Equalizer. Born in Taipei, Taiwan, the good-humored actress was raised in Queens, NY, and attended school at New York University and the Lee Strasberg Theater Academy. A frequent actress on multiple soap operas (appearing in Guiding Light, As the World Turns, and Another World), Wang has also appeared in such films as 1998's "Scarred City", as an abuse wife in "The violent Kind" (2002) and, in what Wang considers one of her most challenging roles, as a pregnant woman struggling against China's "One-Child" policy in Birds of Passage (2001). Fans may also recognize Wang from her many appearances in television commercials, where she has endorsed products ranging from Diet Coke to Pantene Pro V Shampoo. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide |
