Biography 
Birthdate: Thursday 13th of September 1951Age: 60 years young
(September 13, 1951 – December 17, 1987) was a pornographic actress and one of the first Asians to become a star in the adult film industry. In 1998, Wong was added to XRCO Hall of Fame.
Linda Wong was born in Hawaii and raised in San Francisco (first in Mill Valley and later in San Bruno). She lived in Richmond, California and graduated in 1969 from J.F.K. High School in Richmond. Shortly after graduation Linda married and her last name became "Ching". Linda herself was Japanese, not Chinese. After a few years, she divorced but kept her married surname. Linda worked for short period of time as a teller for Sumitomo Bank and as a receptionist for Melvin Belli. She then started to dance on Broadway. She first broke into the business in 1976 with the films Oriental Babysitter and Jade Pussycat, in which she co-starred with Georgina Spelvin and John Holmes.
According to Playboy's October 1977 pictorial "Ladies of Joy" and Playboy's 1980 Girls of Playboy 4, she worked as a legal prostitute in Las Vegas for a short time under the name "Linda Ching".
Appearing in adult films disturbed Wong. She once said
"I was never viewed as a human being. The greatest compliment that anyone has given me is that 'Linda, you're a nice person.' Most people, right off the bat, assume that I am a piece of meat, a porno star, a floozy." (AVN)
In 1981, she decided to retire. She returned four years later, to star in The Erotic World of Linda Wong. She was planning yet another comeback in 1987 when she died of a drug overdose.
