Untitled

She appeared in this Scientology ad from the late 80s, I'd say 88? Could someone try and add this information, plus anything else they can dig up about her appearing in it (perhaps she was a Scientologist herself?) to this entry? I am certainly not qualified to do so with my knowledge of Wikipedia, but I feel considering how scarce information on Thuy Trang is since her passing, anything new should be available to fans of hers, to paint a more complete picture of the life she lead.

WHo was there?

There are debates about who was at her funeral. Definatley David Yost and Amy Jo Johnson were, but were Walter Emmanuel Jones and Austin St. John there?

A couple of photos from inside of the funeral show someone sitting a couple of rows in front of David that looks noticeably like Walter.

Austin responding to a question on the then new q&a page on his website, http://www.austinstjohn.org (which was ran by a friend of his) in 03 said that while he was late for the funeral, he did attend along with Amy, David and Walter. Sadly the site merged with another Austin site later in 03 (which has also since gone offline) and the Q&A page was never copied over.

Until this evidence can be provided, the {{fact}} tags need to stay in place. JPG-GR 03:16, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nuts how she died right before 9-11. 161.185.1.100 (talk) 16:48, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First Asian Power Ranger?

That can't be entirely accurate, since all the actors in the Japanese Power Rangers series were, well, Japanese. --M.Neko 04:40, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just one problem: technically, there's no such thing as "Japanese Power Rangers", unless you are referring to the dubbed version of the American show, which obviously came later. JPG-GR 04:15, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Specification on location of the accident

I deleted the description of the accident "near San Francisco" and the modifier "between San Francisco and Los Angeles" because Insterstate 5 does go to San Francisco; it goes to Sacramento. I also personally don't believe that the location of the accident is important in this instance, but if someone does want to add that, please specify a link citing the specific location.

If I recall correctly, San Francisco is about 70 miles west of Interstate 5. That's not "near" San Francisco. Also, in the article it says the driver hit a rock face on the road. If I recall, those rocks are located somewhere between Tracy and Los Banos. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong? Adavalosjr 09:13, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I would also like to know how it lists her death location as "San Francisco, CA," but then the article says the accident took place on Interstate 5. It's one or the other, since the 5 does not run through SF. President David Palmer

I believe she was Vietnamese. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 15:16, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

YouTube

This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed, feel free to ask me on my talk page and I'll review it personally. Thanks. ---J.S (t|c) 15:14, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Was she a Scientologist? TwistedRed (talk) 00:50, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NO! Dumaka (talk) 19:57, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Family name

Does anybody know Thuy Trang's family name?Because according to the Vietnamese custom,Vietnamese people should be known their family.For example:Nguyễn,Lê,Trần,Phạm.If I don't have the infomation , I can't write an article about her for Vietnamese wikipedia!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Khunglongcon (talk • contribs) 01:25, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lacking her family name does not make much trouble to Vietnamese article :-D Avia (talk) 09:51, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality.

I think Thuy Trang is best described as Vietnamese-American as she i) Moved to America at a young age and remained there ii) Became notable in the United States. Obviously being deceased, WP:MOSBIO does not apply here directly but the general theme stays the same. So it would be nice if people stop removing the American part of the lead section. I know this is a touchy issue in SE Asia but Wikipedia has guidelines and a duty to remain impartial. And should it be "Vietnamese American" or "Vietnamese-American"? --Τασουλα (talk) 13:43, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
