Date of Birth: December 2, 1968

Place of Birth: Queens, New York, United States of America.

Born to Chinese immigrants in Queens, New York, Lucy Liu has always tried to balance an interest in her cultural heritage with a desire to move beyond a strictly Asian-American experience. Once relegated to "ethnic" parts, the energetic actress is finally earning her stripes as an across-the-board leading lady.

Lucy Liu graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1986 and entered New York University. However, disheartened by the "dark and sarcastic" atmosphere of NYU, she transferred to the University of Michigan after her first year.

She graduated from UM with a degree in Chinese Language and Culture. She also managed to get some additional training in dance, voice, fine arts, and acting. During her last school year, Lucy tried out for a small part in Alice in Wonderland and walked away with the lead.

She was encouraged by the experience, she decided to plunge into acting. She moved to Los Angeles and eventually scoring a guest appearance as a waitress on "Beverly Hills, 90210". That led to more walk-on parts in shows like "NYPD Blue" (1993), "ER" (1994), and "The X-Files" (1993). In 1996, she was cast as an ambitious college student on Rhea Perlman's ephemeral sitcom "Pearl" (1996).

Lucy Liu first appeared on the screen as an ex-girlfriend in Jerry Maguire (1996). She then waded through some supporting parts in small films before landing her big break on "Ally McBeal" (1997). The part turned out to be that of growling, ill-tempered lawyer Ling Woo, which Liu filled with such that she was signed on as a regular cast member.

The "Ally" win gave Liu's film career a much-needed boost--in 1999, she was cast as a dominate role in the Mel Gibson action flick Payback, and as a hitchhiker in the boxing saga Play It to the Bone. The following year brought larger roles: first as the kidnapped Princess Pei Pei in Jackie Chan's western Shanghai Noon, then as one-third of the comely crime-fighting trio in Charlie's Angels.

She practices the martial art of Kali-Eskrima-Silat (knife-and-stick fighting), skis, rock climbs, rides horses, and plays the accordion. Her schedule doesn't leave much time for romance, but she says she prefers to keep that side of her life uncluttered.

Personal Quotes

I grew up in Jackson Heights, Queens, with no money. I was taught not to take anything for granted. If you are too busy being a diva or a freak, then you are not enjoying it.

Everything I buy is vintage and smells funny. Maybe that's why I don't have a boyfriend.

[about "Ally McBeal" (1997)] It's so much fun playing her [Ling], but I have this fear that people are going to run away from me in terror on the streets. They think I'm going to bite their heads off or something.

I'm so proud of my heritage, but yes, I think there's always a danger when people put you on a pedestal. Especially when you're just trying to live your life and pursue your dreams. The intention is not to represent Asian Americans, but to be an Asian American who is working as an actress. People often confuse the two. When you are "representing," you have the burden of some people projecting their hopes onto you. This can eventually lead to a certain amount of disappointment. I strive to not deny myself experiences that open up to me. I hope to live without looking back in regret. If people want to join me on the ride, then I'm happy to have them along.

Martial arts are art forms and require a great deal of discipline and dedication. I so admire people who focus their lives on it, because it's not an easy thing to do.

Producing is like pushing jello up a hill on a hot day.

It's really taking a while but I do think it's becoming more acceptable to cast Asians in roles that weren't originally slated for someone who is Asian, which is so great.
