While watching Elementary with my mom this week (she?s a fan but I only catch it occasionally), I was struck by how young Lucy Liu, 49, looks. She looks natural and ageless and although she?s probably had a little Botox you can?t tell. Now that she?s gone blonde though something is off. People Magazine is reporting that this hair color change is possibly for a new role, but if so Lucy hasn?t said yet. She did Instagram credit to her colorist though.

Here are some photos of Lucy Liu at Paleyfest two weekends ago, supporting her work on Elementary. I love her on Elementary, and it bums me out that Elementary isn?t more beloved and watched. Like, it?s one of the best shows on television and they handle mature discussions about sexual assault and addiction very well. Lucy and Jonny Lee Miller are also fantastic on it and they have great chemistry together, but not in a sexual will-they-get-together sort of way. Anyway, at Paleyfest, Lucy was asked about what it?s like to be such a prominent Asian-American woman in Hollywood. Some of her comments:
What she thinks about Hollywood whitewashing: ?That obviously is a hot topic. It?s hard because often times I?m asked not how I feel or how I pride myself as an artist but how I feel as an Asian artist ? there?s always some sort of a hangman before the actual thing. That disturbs me a bit. It?s never about the art itself, it?s about the adjective. I?m playing the main act of what?s happening.?
She?s uncomfortable receiving acclaim specifically for being Asian-American: ?When you?re asked to go a festival and it?s Asian-American, or it?s an award, it?s specific to ?that.? Because I?m ?that.? It?s difficult to swallow.?
Being invited to join the Academy: ?It was just a big honor. Then, with all that?s been going on, they sent a letter out, basically saying they wanted members to then open up and send a list of people that were ethnic in diversity. I had this moment of, I was just thinking about it. I was just so glad I was accepted into this wonderful group because of my work, not because I am Asian, and now they?re trolling the fields for people who fit that. I want to be acknowledged for my work, not for my ?fill in the blank.??
The frustration about having to discuss her race: ?It?s exhausting, to have to explain it. Is it difficult? Absolutely. There?s less to have, and there?s more to do, in order to get that less. It?s hard because it?s rare that I?ll be asked a question that is not with that before it. I always have this hyphen, even if it?s a great periodical ? sorry to sound so geeky ? if it?s a great something that people really respect and admire, they still will ask that as opposed to ?How does it feel to be an actress in the business?? It?s never that. ?How does it feel to be an Asian person in the business?? I don?t know. I don?t know what it is to be ?Asian? because I am a person. I?m a human being. I don?t look in the mirror, honestly, and say, ?Oh, before I say something, I better remember that I am Asian.? The whole joke is, like, when you go to China, you don?t order Chinese food, you?re just ordering the f–king food. So, yes, it?s not easy. I want to get the job. I want to get the thought or the acceptance because of my work, not because I have a hyphen before my name.?

This reminded me so strongly of what Mindy Kaling has always said, and I?m paraphrasing but it?s basically like: if you?re a woman of color in the industry, you have to talk endlessly about what it?s like to be a woman of color in the industry and all of the white guys get to talk about their art. Lucy wants to talk about her art. She wants to talk about the show. She wants to talk about what she does an actress, not as an Asian-American woman. But women of color do feel the responsibility so much of the time to actually champion their racial cause because? well, let?s face it, women of color are NOT being given a seat at the table for the most part, and being able to say ?Mindy Kaling? and ?Lucy Liu? and ?Viola Davis? actually changes perceptions around which actresses are even considered for roles.

Lucy Liu covers the new issue of Michigan Avenue, a magazine I have never held in my hands or bought or even looked at. I guess it?s supposed to be high-end, right? Like, this is not InStyle, aiming for the broadest market. This is aimed at a niche market, but I don?t really understand which niche. Anyway, I do like the pictorial, and I?m kind of happy to see Lucy getting some magazine covers now that she?s back on a network TV show. Have you been watching Elementary, the American-ized take on Sherlock, meaning a modern retelling of Sherlock Holmes? Elementary has Sherlock in Manhattan, and Lucy plays Dr. Watson, Sherlock?s sobriety coach or something. I have to admit, I?ve watched a few episodes. It?s not the worst thing by far ? Jonny Lee Miller is no Benedict Cumberbatch, but I do love some JLM, and he and Lucy have a surprising amount of chemistry. Anyway, you can read the full Michigan Avenue interview here. Liu is interviewed by her ?close friend? Idris Elba! Which makes it better. Some highlights:
IDRIS ELBA: Lucy, you have such an amazing career. What would you say has made it so long and successful?
Lucy Liu: Number one, you really have to risk everything?you have to take chances and take on projects that are pretty diverse. Just because you do film, don?t limit yourself. You should also do theater because it puts you out there in a terrifying way in front of a live audience and it really tests your skills. The more flexible you are, the more the longevity of your career is going to sustain itself. That?s what actors want. We don?t want to blow up for two years or five years and then be done.
IE: You?ve worked with amazing directors, most notably Quentin Tarantino. What was one nugget of wisdom that Tarantino taught you?
LL: To really be able to listen. When I first met him, we went to Toi, this rock ?n? roll Thai restaurant on Sunset Boulevard. We sat down at the table, and he started describing the character of O-Ren Ishii [from Kill Bill], acting out all the parts, the fake laughs, the sound effects… and I?m there eating my pad thai, trying to eat casually, but I feel like I?m a stunned audience member. If somebody is that excited to tell you something, it really is incredible how much you can learn from him or her. You can?t replicate that kind of passion.
Lucy on beauty and femininity: ?I grew up as a tomboy, and if you?ve seen photographs of me as a child, you see my mother cut all of my hair off. I had no hair: Picture Sinad O?Connor with a two-week grow-out. I was not considered feminine at all, and boys did not look at me. I was a toothpick?.Up until junior high school, when I really started developing. I never looked at myself as a feminine person. My thing was, ?I?m going to be casual and be able to talk to people because I?m hanging out with the guys.? In college, I suddenly felt like I understood more about myself and started making choices on my own. I started doing things that I wanted to do and understanding what my place was in the world, and I think part of that was also embracing myself as a woman. I was smart, I could hang with the guys?I could fall into my own niche category….?
No one tells her she?s beautiful: ?But I find that if somebody finds me beautiful, it melts my heart because it?s not something I heard most of the time growing up ever. I can easily be enticed into some terrible relationship because I?m like, ?Oh, my God, you think I?m beautiful?? [Idris laughs] You know what I mean? And my friends are like, ?Why did you date that ******* for so long?? I?m like, ?Oh, God.? [Laughs]
On Jonny Lee Miller: ?I love working with Jonny. He?s incredibly talented and very professional. He comes in every day?no matter how long the day before has been? and he?s prepared. If we start another episode with all new dialogue, all new characters, a whole new director, a whole new set, he still has it, and he never keeps anyone waiting. I know that sounds basic, but on a 15 to 20 hour day, if you?re working in television and somebody doesn?t know his lines, you could be there until the next day.?
Lucy on Idris: ?I really appreciate you taking the time to do this interview because you?re so special, and nobody?s ever asked me to choose my interviewer before. I said, ?My wish is Idris Elba, but I really don?t know what?s going to happen because he?s shooting a bazillion movies in London and Africa.? I think that you are a pioneer similar to me in that way, in ethnicity and in scope and in range. You?re also a Renaissance man and understand the different venues we travel just to understand who we are. We do music, we do art, we act, we write, we direct because we are trying to discover who we are. It?s a journey?a lifelong journey.?
[From Michigan Avenue]
There?s a lot of mutual ass-kissing between Lucy and Idris, and it?s kind of annoying, but maybe that?s just coming from my jellus h8erade. I wish Idris was telling me how beautiful I am in a magazine!! WHY, IDRIS? Why aren?t you doing that? As for all of the other stuff? Lucy seems like a pretty well-adjusted person, kind of self-absorbed in the way that a lot of actors are, no more, no less. I did really enjoy the Tarantino story, though. I love a good QT story!

Lucy Liu will play Watson in a new Sherlock Holmes pilot on CBS, a modernization of the Sir Arthur Connan Doyle novel. She’ll be playing Joan Watson while Jonny Lee Miller will play Holmes.
In this version, Joan is a former NYPD consultant who works as asobercompanion. Holmes is a recovering addict and former Scotland Yard consultant.
Look, I’m all for being progressive — I was the first to champion the idea of giving women the right to vote back in 2011, as long as it doesn’t interfere with them making me a sandwich of course — but this is a little ridiculous. A woman playing Watson? So instead of wondering whether Watson is a power bottom or not, we’ll be wondering when Holmes is finally going to roofie Watson?
