Lucy Liu

"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."

Date of Birth: December 2, 1968

After being introduced to mainstream audiences with David E. Kelley's hit FOX show Ally McBeal in 1998, Lucy lit up the big screen in movies such as Payback (1999), Shanghai Noon (2000), Charlie's Angels (2000), Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002), Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003), and Quentin Tarantino's 2003 Kill Bill: Vol. 1.

Although she played more demure women at the beginning of her career, Lucy Liu eventually broke the mold and started playing feisty chicks, proving that Asian women can be assertive and aggressive like the best of them.

It's in the Italian neighborhood of Queens, New York that Lucy Alexis Liu was born on December 2, 1968. Her childhood in Jackson Heights with her brother and sister resembled that of many immigrant families. Even though it was difficult, her Chinese parents, a biochemist and a civil engineer, raised their children the American way.

They also taught their children to speak both English and Mandarin, which caused Lucy to have an identity crisis during her days at Manhattan's Stuyvesant High School. Still, she learned to accept herself and graduated in 1986.

After the summer, she enrolled in New York University. In spite of the school being a very distinguished establishment of higher learning, she found the place to be gloomy and cynical. As a result, she only stayed for a year.

For her sophomore year, Lucy went to Ann Arbor and joined the University of Michigan, where she studied singing, acting and dancing. She ultimately graduated with a degree in Asian languages and cultures.
