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?
