Linda Wang Biography

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 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 (1998). 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, Rovi
