Prior to her star-making role on the hit legal drama Ally McBeal, Lucy Liu appeared in almost a dozen films (including Jerry Maguire and Gridlock'd) and just as many popular shows (Beverly Hills, 90210 and Home Improvement). Although she was a latecomer on Ally McBeal, Lucy's reputation as an expert scene-stealer quickly led to roles in high-profile films like Charlie's Angels and Chicago.
