  1. BRUCE: I initially got confused and posted the comments below in error to the Yearly Reviews page which I consult almost nightly [and in fact am rarely off! ] so apologies for the duplication.

    I have seen none of the movies listed but Bruce’s profile of her encouraged me to do some research and I am pleased to see that despite being very modern with a big-screen acting career beginning as late as 2016 as shown in Bruce’s tables above she has already amassed a net worth of $8 million from her work in various mediums and is credited with 11 acting awards and 56 nominations.

    And of course there is more to come with 5 new movies in the pipeline –
    3 films at post-production stage
    1 movie filming – a remake of Disney’s The Little Mermaid
    1 flick at pre-production stage.

    It’s good to see The Work Horse giving space the “new kids on the block” so this new page is welcomed with a “Vote Up”.

    1. Hey Bob….your Awkwafina comment is so good….it deserves to be in two places. She might go down as one of the first YouTube stars to become a mainstream star….she is off to a great start as your net worth and award observations note. I recently got criticized for not having enough Pacific Asian pages….so I have been trying to be more diverse…and Awkwafina seemed like a good UMR subject. Thanks for the vote up and the feedback. Last day of vacation…and then we are headed back home. Wow has this time gone super fast.
