Lucy LiuBorn: 12-02-1968

Native New Yorker Lucy Liu skyrocketed to popularity in 1998 when she played the deliciously malicious Ling Woo on the hit comedy “Ally McBeal” (Fox, 1997-2002). Fresh off of her television success, she went on to establish a big screen persona as the petit, butt-kicking heroine of stylish action outings like the “Charlie’s Angels” franchise and “Kill Bill, Vol. 1” (2003). In 2007, she returned to a regular TV role with the Darren Star drama “Cashmere Mafia” (ABC, 2007), playing one a tightly-knit group of independent professional women supporting each other through the ups and downs of career and romance. For Liu, the change was welcome, in that with the new TV role, she would essay a real person with everyday problems, versus some secret agent or badass fighter which she had long made a career playing believably on the big screen.
