Lucy Liu stars as Nola Lyons on ABC's "Dirty Sexy Money."

On television, Lucy Liu is best known to television audiences as the unforgettable Ling Woo in the hit Fox series, "Ally McBeal," a role for which she scored a 1999 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, as well as winning a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series the same year. Lucy Liu was nominated for another SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series in 2000. Lucy Liu starred in ABC's "Cashmere Mafia" and guest-starred on "Ugly Betty," "Sex & the City" and on "Joey," and has lent her voice to such animated series as "The Simpsons," "Futurama," "King of the Hill" and the recent DreamWorks animation film, "Kung Fu Panda."

Lucy Liu's blossoming film career was thrust into over-drive when she starred with Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore in Columbia Tri-Star's blockbuster hit, "Charlie's Angels," and its sequel, "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle." Lucy Liu's standing was further solidified when she starred opposite Uma Thurman in Quentin Tarantino's critically acclaimed film for Miramax, "Kill Bill: Volume I." Most recently Lucy Liu was seen in the comedy "Code Name: The Cleaner" with co-star Cedric the Entertainer. In smaller release, she was also seen in "3 Needles," a three-paneled look at the worldwide AIDS crisis.

Other film credits for Lucy Liu include "Lucky Number Slevin," opposite Josh Hartnett and Ben Kingsley; Tony Scott's "Domino"; opposite Jackie Chan in Universal's hit comedy "Shanghai Noon"; opposite Mel Gibson in "Payback"; with Antonio Banderas and Woody Harrelson in Touchstone Pictures' "Play It to the Bone"; another role opposite Banderas in the action-thriller "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever," and a cameo role in the Oscar-winning "Chicago." Lucy Liu made her debut as producer with "Freedom's Fury," a documentary on the 1956 Olympic semifinal water polo match between Hungary and Russia. Held in Australia, the match occurred as Russian forces were in Budapest, stamping out a popular revolt. Lucy Liu has also signed a deal to executive-produce and star in a contemporary big-screen version of "Charlie Chan" for Twentieth Century Fox.

A native New Yorker, Lucy Liu attended NYU and later received a Bachelor of Science degree in Asian languages and cultures from the University of Michigan. During her senior year at Michigan, Lucy Liu auditioned for a student theater production of Andre Gregory's adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland." Hoping to be cast in a supporting role, Lucy Liu was instead cast as the lead.

In 2005 Lucy Liu was appointed Ambassador for UNICEF. Her devoted work with UNICEF has taken her to the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan to visit with survivors of the October 8, 2005 earthquake. To witness the impact of HIV/AIDS on children and communities, Lucy Liu traveled to Lesotho in August 2005, and to the Republic of Congo to bring awareness of the tragic consequences of long-running civil war on the children of that region.
