‘Joy Luck Club’ Stars Reunite to Recreate Iconic Moment 33 Years Later

The Joy Luck Club stars reunited more than three decades after the 1993 film premiered.

On Tuesday, September 8, Ming-Na Wen took to Instagram with a clip of herself and her former castmates: Rosalind Chao, Lauren Tom, and Tamlyn Tomita.

“And the Joy & Luck is still with us. #sisterhood,” they captioned the joint post. “Happy Anniversary to #TheJoyLuckClub! #33.”

In the featured video, Wen, 62, Chao, 68, Tom, 65, and Tomita, 60, smile as they arrange themselves in the same poses from an old promotional photo for The Joy Luck Club. “I’m Just a Kid” by Simple Plan played as the clip suddenly transformed into the ’90s photo of the actresses.
