9. Lucy Liu
Lucy Liu rose to fame in the drama series Ally McBeal, on which she played Ling Woo. This role garnered her much critical acclaim. She was even nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award. She has also played the role of Alex Munday in Charlie’s Angels.
While Liu continues to enjoy a lucrative acting career, she dabbles in another world that she has largely tried to keep from the public eye. That world is that of visual art, a world in which she has assumed the alias Yu Lang. Her works span from painting to collages. She has also given a great deal of her work to various charities.
