Lucy Liu’s guest appearance in “Sex and the City” season 4 left a lasting impression on viewers, despite her brief role.
Prior to “Sex and the City,” Lucy Liu had already gained fame and recognition, particularly among Vietnamese audiences, for her leading role in “Charlie’s Angels.” In real life, Lucy Liu is known for her strong and independent personality.
The star of “Sex and the City” embodies the epitome of Eastern beauty with her distinct features, including her petite stature, high cheekbones, and monolid eyes. Despite facing criticism and even being mocked for her looks on live television, Lucy Liu’s talent and passion shone through. She landed the role of Ling Woo in the TV series “Ally McBeal” and was even nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress.
The year 2000 marked a pivotal point in Lucy Liu’s career. She starred alongside Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson in “Shanghai Noon.” Additionally, her portrayal of Alex in “Charlie’s Angels” sparked unnecessary controversy. She was paid less than her co-stars and faced backlash for being chosen allegedly due to her Eastern looks. However, in the years that followed, Lucy Liu went on to achieve success in both her acting career and social endeavors.
When it comes to her personal life, the “Sex and the City” star is notoriously private. She has dated entrepreneur Noam Gottesman, actor Will McCormack, and screenwriter-director Zach Helm, but chose not to marry. Instead, she became a single mother by choice, welcoming a child through surrogacy in 2015. “Both mother and child are healthy and happy,” her representative stated at the time.
Nine years after becoming a mother, Lucy Liu leads a peaceful life, maintaining her privacy. In this photo, she and her child were invited to attend a cultural event at the White House.

In May 2019, Lucy Liu made history by becoming the second actress of Asian descent (after Anna May Wong) to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in nearly 60 years.
Even in her 60s, the “Sex and the City” star exudes timeless beauty and continues to thrive in her career.
