Celebrity Lucy Liu

.

In the Gen X remakes of Charlie's Angels, Lucy Liu made America think beyond blond and leggy. The pint-sized actress held her own against Hollywood darlings and fellow halo-holders Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz in the eye candy action flicks.
After an academic-focused New York upbringing, Liu earned an Emmy nod for her role as the sharp-tongued Ling Woo on Ally McBeal. She soon left David E. Kelley's hit series for a film career, appearing in the Oscar-winning movie musical Chicago and attempted to murder Uma Thurman in Kill Bill Vol. 1.
In 2008, the twice-listed PEOPLE Most Beautiful stunner finally took center stage with her own ABC series Cashmere Mafia. After its cancellation, she stuck with ABC, taking a starring role in their hit series Dirty Sexy Money.
