Lucy Alexis Liu (born Lucy Liu;
December 2, 1968) is an American actress, model, artist, and
occasional film producer. She became known for playing the role
of the vicious and ill-mannered Ling Woo in television series
Ally McBeal (1998–2002) for which she was nominated for a
Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a
Comedy Series and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding
Performance by a female Actor in a Comedy Series. Her film work
includes starring as one of the heroines in Charlie's Angels,
playing one of the enemies of The Bride in Kill Bill, and
appearances in Payback, Chicago, and animated hit Kung Fu Panda.
In 2012, Liu joined the cast of TNT series Southland in the
recurring role of Jessica Tang, for which she won the Critics'
Choice Television Award for Best Drama Guest Actress. In 2008,
she starred in her own television show, ABC comedy-drama,
Cashmere Mafia, which ended after one abbreviated season. The
show was one of only a few American television shows to have an
Asian American series lead. She is currently co-starring in
Sherlock Holmes-inspired crime drama Elementary, playing Joan
Watson.
The television arc here is the fashion story: Ling Woo's severe wardrobe in Ally McBeal made Liu a style reference at the turn of the century, Charlie's Angels and Kill Bill moved the same presence into action films, and Elementary recast the most famous partnership in detective fiction with Liu as Watson. Cashmere Mafia sits between them as the fashion-industry role itself — a series about publishing executives, led by an Asian American actress at a time when very few American shows had one. The biography also lists artist among her occupations, alongside actress, model and occasional film producer.
