Barbara Jean Wong (March 3, 1924 – November 13, 1999) was a Chinese American actress, known for her role as Arabella on the hugely popular radio comedy, Amos 'n' Andy.

[1] She began her performance career at the age of five,[2] as she could read and had a clear voice, and was soon dubbed the Chinese American Shirley Temple because of her long black hair curled into ringlets and her charming persona.

As a youngster, Wong was also a dancer, performing at events such as a fashion show for charity in 1932[3] and a Hollywood Women's Club costume party in 1935.

[citation needed] After Wong married, she retired from acting and earned her teaching credentials from California State, Los Angeles.

[16] She was active on the boards of multiple Los Angeles organizations, including the El Pueblo Historical Monument and the Friends of the Chinese American Museum.
