Liu as a high school senior in 1986

Lucy Liu was born in the Jackson Heights neighborhood of the New York City borough of Queens.[3][4] In high school, she adopted a middle name, Alexis.[5] She is the youngest of three children born to Cecilia, who worked as a biochemist, and Tom Liu, a civil engineer who sold digital clock pens.[6] Liu's parents originally came from Beijing and Shanghai and immigrated to Taiwan as adults before meeting in New York.[6][7][8] She has an older brother, John,[9][10][11][12] and an older sister, Jenny.[13] Her parents had many jobs while Lucy and her siblings were growing up.[14]

Liu has stated that she grew up in a diverse neighborhood. She learned to speak Mandarin at home and began studying English when she was five.[15] She studied the martial art kali-eskrima-silat as a hobby when she was young.[16] Liu attended Joseph Pulitzer Middle School (I.S.145), and graduated from Stuyvesant High School.[17] She later enrolled at New York University and transferred to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she was a member of the Chi Omega sorority and studied Asian languages and cultures.[17]

Career

[edit]

At the age of 19, while traveling on the subway, Liu was discovered by an agent. She appeared in one commercial as a result.[18] As a member of the Basement Arts student-run theater group,[19] she auditioned in 1989 for the University of Michigan's production of Alice in Wonderland during her senior year of college. Although she had originally tried out for only a supporting role,[20] Liu was cast in the lead. While in line to audition for the musical Miss Saigon in 1990, she told The New York Times, "There aren't many Asian roles, and it's very difficult to get your foot in the door."[21] In May 1992, Liu made her New York stage debut in Fairy Bones, directed by Tina Chen.[22]

Liu had small roles in films and TV, marking her debut. In 1992, she made her big-screen debut in the Hong Kong film Rhythm of Destiny, which starred Danny Lee and Aaron Kwok.[23] In 1993, she appeared in an episode of L.A. Law as a Chinese widow giving her evidence in Mandarin.[24] Liu starred on the sitcom Pearl, which lasted one season. Shortly after the end of Pearl's run in 1997, Liu was cast in a role on Ally McBeal. Liu originally auditioned for the role of Nelle Porter (played by Portia de Rossi), and the character Ling Woo was later created specifically for her. Liu's part on the series was originally temporary, but high audience ratings secured Liu as a permanent cast member. Additionally, she earned a Primetime Emmy Award[25] nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series and a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series.[20]

In 2008, she produced and narrated the short film The Road to Traffik, about the Cambodian author and human rights advocate Somaly Mam.

[edit]

Liu has been vegetarian since childhood.[61][62] Liu has studied various religions, mainly Buddhism and Taoism, and briefly Kabbalah. She has stated, "I'm into all things spiritual—anything to do with meditation or chants or any of that stuff. I studied Chinese philosophy in school. There's something in the metaphysical that I find very fascinating."[16] She has been a member of the Chinese-American organization Committee of 100 since 2004.[63]

She has a son, Rockwell, who was born in 2015 via gestational surrogate.[64][65] She has stated that surrogacy was the right option for her because, "I was working and I didn't know when I was going to be able to stop."[66] She has decided to raise him as a single parent.[67] She was involved in Tylenol's #HowWeFamily Mother's Day Campaign, which celebrated non-traditional families.[68]

Health

[edit]

In 1991, Liu had surgery after a breast cancer scare. She said: "The doctor sort of felt and said it was cancer and it needs to come out. I went into shell-shock. It was pretty traumatizing." The lump was removed two days after the doctor's examination and was found to be benign.[69]
