Silly Rabbit

In this post I wanted to talk about someone I will never meet, but totally love—Lucy Liu. I think she is totally gorgeous and should be given parts that are strong and super heroine type. Like, I think she should have been the lead heroine in the Resident Evil series and could be a female Jane Bond type. Lucy did play a heroine type in Ballistic and of course Charlie's Angels. I can’t get enough movies with her in them.

My screen saver at work has pictures of Lucy Liu and I also have a couple of pictures pasted to my credenza of her. She is totally hot.

Anyway, I wanted to highlight some of what I know about her. Lucy grew up in Jackson Heights, Queens, in a modest family. She indicates in interviews that she was taught not to take anything for granted.

Lucy is the daughter of a civil engineer and a biochemist, Lucy Alexis Liu was born on December 2, 1968, in the Italian neighborhood of Queens, New York. Spending her childhood in Jackson Heights, alongside her sister and brother, Lucy's parents, who are Chinese immigrants, educated her in the American way and Lucy felt ethnically estranged due to her Asian background.

Focusing on the importance of education, Lucy, who was taught both English and Mandarin, was sent to Manhattan's Stuyvesant High School. Upon graduation in 1986, she briefly attended New York University. However, feeling disappointed with campus life, Lucy transferred to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor where she studied acting, dancing, fine arts and singing. When she was in her senior year, Lucy tried her hand at theatre by joining the audition for a part in the University of Michigan production of "Alice in Wonderland." Fortunately, Lucy won the lead role, hence encouraging her to pursue acting as a career. After getting her B.A in Asian Languages and Cultures in 1990, Lucy relocated to Los Angeles.

Off screen, Lucy is an expert mixed media artist. She initially exhibited her collection of multimedia art pieces at the Cast Iron Gallery in Soho, New York in 1993. Due to her excellent work, she won a scholarship to study art in China. In 1997, she had her second exhibit in Venice, California. During her off time, Lucy enjoys such sports as rock climbing, skiing and horseback riding, as well as practicing martial arts of Kali-Eskrima-Silat (knife-and-stick fighting). She also enjoys playing the accordion.
