The girl was born in Los Angeles in the family of actors Casper Van Dien and Carrie Mitchum. Growing up in California, Grace seemed destined to know the world of show business. But when she met Hollywood as a complete person, she was shocked by its underbelly.
Wang Ding started her career in 2014 with a role in Sleeping Beauty. She rose to prominence in 2018 after playing Sharon Tate in Charlie So Said. A year later, the rising star appeared in the TV series The Village as Kathy Campbell, and in 2022 she played the role of Chrissy Cunningham in the TV series Stranger Things.
After her initial success, Grace stated that she turned down acting projects due to sexual harassment from a film producer. During a broadcast on Twitch, the girl admitted that she turned down four film roles in the past two and a half weeks.
“The fact is, in the last few projects I’ve worked on, I haven’t had the best experiences with some of the people I’ve had to work with,” said a representative of the star family.
The actress explained that the producer of the project made her unwanted sexual advances. “In one of the last films I did, one of the producers asked me to do a threesome with them. With him and his girlfriend he hired and slept with,” Wang Ding said.
The star rejected the unequivocal offer, but what happened left a lasting impression on her. According to Grace, she chose to protect herself from harassment in the film industry. “So… this is my boss. But I didn’t, I was crying, I was so angry, “the Independent quotes the actress.
After that, the girl decided to focus on streaming. “I saw that some people were unhappy that I left the acting projects and decided to stream more. When people ask, “How is streaming better for your mental health?” So. I stay home and play video games and my boss doesn’t want me to have sex with them. I am happy here and developing my own projects. I hope someone decides to fund them because then I can control my scene and not ask my actors to sleep with me,” added Grace.
