Lucy Liu, the 56-year-old actress known for her action-packed roles in Kill Bill and Charlie`s Angels, has opened up about landing her first dramatic leading role in the movie Rosemead, despite decades of work in Hollywood, according to People.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Liu revealed that she had to wait over 30 years to get a leading role that challenges her and taps into her potential. "I started doing indies, and I was lucky enough to fall into the commercial world, but those are kind of more side-salad roles," she said.
