Lucy Liu
Born and raised in New York, Lucy Liu had endless possibilities ahead of her. She didn’t know she wanted to be an actress until she was discovered by an agent on the subway. You could say her acting career started when she auditioned to her university’s production of Alice in Wonderland and received the lead role, but at that point, she didn’t really make anything out of it.
The actress studied towards a degree in Asian languages and cultures. During her college years, Liu held varied jobs, including a secretary, an aerobics instructor, a hostess and a waitress. Only after that life-changing meeting with the agent on the subway, her temporary jobs took a turn, and she started appearing in small roles in films and T.V shows.
