Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Lucy Liu into the ol’ VCR.

On December 2, 1968, Lucy Liu was born. 

She was raised in Queens, New York, where she graduated from Stuyvesant High School and then went on to get her degree from the University of Michigan. 

Lucy Liu booked a commercial when she was 19 and the starring role in her college drama club’s production of Alice in Wonderland when she was a senior. 

In 1992, she made her film debut in Rhythm of Destiny, going on to land a couple of smaller parts. However, after a role was specifically created for her in Ally McBeal, her career began to take off with starring roles in films like Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Charlie’s Angels, and supporting roles in movies like Domino and Chicago. 

Lucy Liu is also an incredible artist and has even created a series for her book, Seventy Two, which includes essays from the likes of Deepak Chopra and Lucy Liu herself. 

Throughout her career, Lucy Liu has also been a supporter of UNICEF and a spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign. 

She’s even been on Broadway in God of Carnage. 

Additionally, she’s responsible for the sexual awakening of countless queer women. You know the scene in Charlie’s Angels (2000) I’m referring to. 

In short, Lucy Liu is a badass. 

There’s not much more that I can say about Lucy Liu that hasn’t already been said. 

Lucy, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤
