Ming-Na Wen, you might remember her as Mulan, a heroine who charmed us all with her warrior spirit, or as Fennec Shand from “The Book of Boba Fett,” setting the Star Wars galaxy ablaze with her charisma. 😍 Ming’s name is now etched permanently on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, honoring a career that crossed the borders of animation, TV series, and blockbuster movies. 🎉 She’s a Disney Legend in true essence, isn’t she?
Our favorite warrior princess had her big break in 1993 with “The Joy Luck Club.” 👩❤️👩 Her Hollywood star was celebrated with guest speakers including her co-stars Tamlyn Tomita, Lauren Tom, and Rosalind Chao. 💫 Remember how she reprised the voice of Mulan multiple times, like in “Mulan II” and “Ralph Breaks the Internet,” and popped up in the live-action remake of “Mulan”?
