"Almost everything I tried out for I pretty much got. I landed Power Rangers, and the rest is history"
About this Quote
Then she drops the cultural marker: "I landed Power Rangers". Not just a job, but a franchise that functioned like a global assembly line for fame and typecasting. For Trang, as the original Yellow Ranger, the context is messier than the victory lap implies. Early '90s kids TV made space for a Vietnamese American woman on screens across the country, but it did so inside tight stereotypes and disposable labor. That makes "the rest is history" land with double meaning: the myth of a clean origin story, and the quiet acknowledgment that what comes after a breakout role is rarely controlled by the actor who breaks out.
The intent feels like self-mythmaking with a wink. She’s telling a fan-friendly version of events, keeping the tone upbeat, but she’s also asserting authorship over her narrative: I chose this path, I won these rooms, I made my mark. Coming from Trang, whose career and life were cut short, the line also reads as a small act of permanence, turning a fleeting entertainment moment into something closer to legacy.
