Lucy Liu Debuts Her Shortest Haircut in Years
Lucy Liu has embraced a new look with a lob haircut, showcased in the upcoming drama Rosemead. The actress sports a short, side-parted style just above her collarbone in the film's trailer.
About the Film Rosemead
Rosemead premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June and will be released in theaters on December 5. The story follows Irene (Liu) and her son Joe (Lawrence Shou) as they cope with Joe's schizophrenia diagnosis.
The film is based on a 2017 Los Angeles Times article by Frank Shyong titled "A dying mother's plan: Buy a gun. Kill her son."
Lucy Liu's Role and Career Shift
This role marks a significant shift for Liu from her mostly light-hearted, action-oriented characters in projects like Ally McBeal, Watching the Detectives, and Why Women Kill.
“As there was not a lot that was known about this family, the script had to be pieced together,” Liu told Variety. “In some ways, it’s a little bit of a thriller, because people know the final act and some of the details, and then the rest had to be kind of filled in, in order to understand the dynamic between Irene and her son.”
At the Tribeca premiere, Liu also discussed her fascination with this project and others of similar nature during an interview with Parade.
Summary
Lucy Liu’s new haircut complements her powerful performance in Rosemead, a dramatic departure that explores complex family dynamics amid mental illness.
