Actress Constance Wu

This actress named Constance is a constant presence on the ABC network in the U.S.

Constance Wu plays Jessica Huang, the mother of Eddie Huang, in "Fresh Off the Boat," the ABC sitcom  based on the real-life chef Eddie Huang's memoir of the same name about growing up as the son of Taiwanese immigrants.  Set in the nineties, the show depicts Jessica as a stern mother who pushes her children for success.  (Eddie Huang's father Louis, played by Randall Park in the series, managed a steakhouse restaurant in Florida.)

Like many television actors, Constance Wu made a jump to the movies - with Crazy Rich Asians, yet another work based on a book (a Kevin Kwan novel, of the same name).  She plays an American economics professor who goes to Singapore with her boyfriend to attend a wedding, and he finds out his family is crazy and rich .  .  . and that her boyfriend attracts women like honey attracts bears.

Crazy Rich Asians premiered in August 2018.  It became a huge hit within a week after its release.
