Lucy Liu

World renowned actress Lucy Liu was born and brought up in New York.

She is probably best known for her all-action roles in Kill Bill and Charlie’s Angels as well as her TV performances in Ally McBeal and more recently as Dr. Watson in the Emmy-nominated Elementary.

Away from the screen Lucy is a celebrated painter and photographer.

Although a keen traveller, she is a regular visitor to Mandarin Oriental, New York, where she really feels at home, loves the Chinese breakfast and thinks the “view is spectacular”.

Lucy’s chosen charities are UNICEF and BAM: Ignite.
