The Rise of Asian Models



When I was growing up, the only Asian female face out in the media was Connie Chung.  No offense to Connie Chung, but she was more like a mom figure.

I didn't see young Asian women on TV or magazines.  I think the closest person to Asian at the time was Phoebe Cates, who is part Filipina.  But she doesn't have eyes like me.  And I'm pretty sure I thought she was Mexican.  I'll admit that I wasn't a bright child.

Phoebe's face is so darling. Do you remember her in Gremlins?
