just the facts:

Birthday: October 28

My Hometown: Although born in Dallas, TX, Huang was raised in New York City.

Wedding Belle: She married scientist Mickey Pentecost on June 18, 2005.

Speaking Up: She is fluent in Mandarin Chinese. “I spoke it at home with my parents growing up.”

Talking TV: “I MAY DESTROY YOU is so good. It’s Michaela Coel and was on HBO for one season, but was just amazing. I just watched THE BEATLES: GET BACK from Peter Jackson on Disney+. It’s like hanging out with The Beatles every night. You think, ‘This is so boring. No, I’m weirdly enthralled.’ ”

An App for That: “I have Insight Timer on my phone. It’s a meditation app. I have trouble sleeping, and there’s this one guy who sounds like Sean Connery. He puts me in a meditative sleep and helps me get the deepest sleep I’ve ever gotten.”

Cutting Room Floor: Huang was in the film Larry Crowne, although her part got cut. “It was still a week on a set, and Tom Hanks was the director. It was so lovely to see that he really is a very nice person. He knew everybody by name.”
