Prayong Deeying was born in Thailand and earned a full scholarship from the Royal Thai Family to study Fine Arts in Bangkok. His talent quickly propelled him into national recognition, with his work displayed at the National Museum of Thailand. Seeking to deepen his craft, he came to the United States to pursue a Master of Fine Arts at LSU.

After graduating, the U.S. Army recruited him to teach art — a role he held for a decade. His portfolio eventually caught the attention of Disney as they prepared to open Hollywood Studios. “In 1987 Disney offered me the job. I start here,” he recalls.

For the next 20 years, Prayong painted, carved, and sculpted beloved characters and iconic installations. “I sculpt Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, bunny rabbit, Beauty and the Beast,” he says. His work appears across Disney properties, including the massive sculptures atop the Swan and Dolphin Hotel, created with his team.

Esther Eng (1914–1970) was a San Francisco-born filmmaker and one of the first Chinese American women to direct and produce films. With no formal filmmaking training, she co-produced the first Chinese-language film made in Hollywood in 1935 and went on to build a career across the United States and Hong Kong, championing strong female protagonists and all-women casts at a time when such stories were rarely centered.
After stepping away from filmmaking in 1950, Eng moved to Manhattan’s Chinatown with her romantic partner, Siu Fei-fei. Together, they opened Bo Bo Restaurant, a gathering place that became a refuge for out-of-work Chinese actors. Eng is also remembered as one of the earliest openly le***an Chinese Americans.
