Thuy Trang was a Vietnamese actress. She was known for her role as Trini Kwan, the first Yellow Ranger on the original cast of the television series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Trang’s father was a South Vietnamese army officer who fled the country in 1975 after the fall of Saigon, leaving his family behind.
Where did Thuy Trang go to high school?
Thuy Trang was born in Saigon, South Vietnam, now Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on December 14, 1973, to parents Ky Trang her father and Be Trang her mother. She had two brothers and one sister. Her father was a South Vietnamese army (ARVN) officer and was tasked with protecting Saigon from the communist North Vietnamese army.
After the fall of Saigon in 1975, he was forced to leave his family behind and fled the country, immigrating to the United States. Trang and her family lived in a detention camp as her father petitioned the U.S. government for political asylum for his family. They fled Saigon when Trang was two years old.
Trang’s father died in 1992 when she was 18. She graduated from Banning High School in the Wilmington neighbourhood of Los Angeles, and enrolled at the University of California, Irvine to study civil engineering, planning to follow her father and siblings into the field.
Trang’s hobbies included playing tennis, jogging, and reading romance novels. She also had a dog named Nia. Trang switched her focus to acting after a chance run-in with a talent scout while hanging out with friends.
This led to an introductory acting class at UCI in 1992 where she was spotted for a commercial for the Church of Scientology, even though she was a Buddhist. Trang, the first person in her family to study acting, said she intended to later finish her education despite undertaking an acting career.
