Credit: Mattel Wong is a significant figure in Asian American history, and is considered the first Chinese American female actor in Hollywood. Born in L.A. in 1905, Wong took her first acting role when she was 14 years old. She went on to make over 50 films throughout her career, and became a fashion icon in the 1920s and '30s.
She was vocal about issues such as Chinese representation on film, and fought against stereotyping and consistent negative portrayals. Wong also worked to improve relations between China and the U.S, raised money for Chinese refugees after World War II, and advocated for the rights of Chinese Americans. She died of a heart attack in 1961 at 56 years old.
Wong was previously included in the United States Mint's American Woman Quarters program. This series celebrates the achievements of notable American women by putting their likenesses on the reverse of coins, with Wong being the fifth woman honoured. The quarters went into circulation last year, making her the first Asian-American to appear on U.S. coins.
Last week Mattel revealed its first Barbie with Down syndrome as part of its Fashionistas line.
