Dear friends and fans of Thuy Trang,
It is with deep sorrow and regret that I inform you that our beloved
Thuy Trang passed away in a car accident on September 3, 2001.
I do not know the details of the tragedy, but rather than wonder how
Thuy died, let us remember how she lived and affected our lives.
As you may know, this fan site was created in her honour back in 1997.
At the time, there were not many Web sites dedicated to the actress who
portrayed the original yellow Power Ranger. I named the fan site
Thuy Trang Tribute because all too often, we do not fully
appreciate or praise those whom we admire and love until they pass away.
But why wait? Thuy's fans certainly did not.
Even though Thuy had been out of the spotlight after her roles in
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and The Crow: City of Angels, her fans had written
and expressed their thoughts of Thuy in the section called
Tribute Talk. So popular was that
feature that I opened up a
Yahoo! club to
facilitate further discussion about the woman who touched our lives.
Even five years after her last Hollywood project, we've continued to pay
tribute to Thuy.
I was lucky enough to be able to speak with Thuy last year over the
phone. She was as warm and as gracious as you would expect.
Her message to you, her fans was:
"Tell all the fans that I completely adore them, and tell them I say,
'Thank you so much', for their love and support; and that I miss them
terribly, and hopefully I get to see them or they get to see me up on
the screen soon. And send my love, definitely."
We will miss Thuy terribly in her untimely death, but in her life she
touched us dearly. And for that, we say, "Thank you so much," and
send our love and remembrance to Thuy Trang. Our condolences and
prayers to her family and friends.
Condolensces can be sent to Thuy's family care of:
