Chapter 6 - Lucy Liu: Here Comes Third Angel While Barrymore and Diaz continued to grow as friends, characters and martial artists, there was an empty space noticeable to everyone involved. There was no third Angel. While several actresses expressed their desire to play the role, the filmmakers continued their search for an actress who would complement, and be complemented by, the talents of Barrymore and Diaz, yet also be characteristically unique. They found these distinctive talents in Lucy Liu. It was important that the camaraderie between the characters-both personal and professional-be believable. "This is a relationship movie, and Cameron, Drew and Lucy just had that ease in their relationship," observes Goldberg of the actresses' first script reading together. "They just looked like they were friends." "We were enamored with Lucy from the get-go," explains Nancy Juvonen. "But we knew that with her 'Ally McBeal' schedule, it would be nearly impossible for us to try and fit both in." Shortly thereafter, however, Juvonen says, "we were all sitting together one night, Cameron, Drew and I, and talking about how touched we all were by Lucy. We decided that if she was still willing to do it, we were willing to make the scheduling work." The following day, the filmmakers called Liu and asked her to join the Angels. Juvonen recalls that Liu's response - "I'd love to" - was calm and cool, but she says that Liu later admitted she was in a complete flutter. "Lucy wasn't the only one in a flutter," imparts Juvonen. "We were all screaming-Leonard, McG, Cameron, Drew, the casting directors..." Liu says that she was attracted to the film because it was not a remake, and therefore she could make the part of Alex her own. Being an Angel also represented the opportunity to be a part of something modern yet with a historical background. "You get to go undercover. You get to do things that Bond gets to do. You get to work with Cameron and Drew-what a powerful combination. It's the most fun anyone could have."   Next Page: Eating Bitterness on Action Scenes
