BIOGRAPHY
Grace was born in Beijing, China, to a family of famous entertainers. As a little girl, she often sat with her father Chang Bao Ting, while he wrote his shows for radio, the stage and TV.
At a young age, she learned the art of magic/illusion from her grandfather, often in the courtyards of the Forbidden City. Some years later, Grace was selected for the job of star illusionist and ringmaster in an internationally acclaimed Chinese circus. She is a multi-talented entertainer and performer and has appeared on stage and screen in both China and the United States, including the film, The Joy Luck Club.
Grace has also spent many years helping families to adopt babies from China and estimates that she has placed over 2,000 Chinese orphans in the U.S. Her philanthropic work in this field was rewarded in 2006 by Adoptions from the Heart — an organization she works closely with as director of the China program.
Grace Chang lives in Brooklyn with her husband and son and can often be spotted riding her collapsible bicycle. She describes her home life as the best of "East meets West".
