“They promised me,” Constance told Red Table Talk. “They said, ‘No, no, no, no. We love Constance. It’ll only be warm energy and positive vibes towards her.’”
“I was sitting there alone, trying not to cry in a public setting, and the whole audience was like, ‘Oh, sh*t!’” Constance said. “They had promised they wouldn’t mock me and they did it right off the bat.

The printed quarter shows an image of Wong resting on her hand, serving as a tribute to what most consider the first Chinese American movie star. She was born in 1905 in Chinatown, Los Angeles and died in 1961 of a heart attack in her Santa Monica home.

In the following years, she rose to stardom as among the first Asian American stars in Hollywood and appeared in more than 50 films.
