Actress Lucy Liu will be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame May 1, launching Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

Resonate reports Liu’s star will be only the second Asian American actress to receive the honor. Her star will be alongside the star of pioneer Chinese American actress Anna May Wong at Hollywood and Vine. Wong is the first Chinese American actress on the silver screen.

According to the Calgary Herald, Liu is the 2662nd star to be honored on the Walk of Fame. Liu stars in the long-running CBS series Elementary which will debut its final season in four weeks.

Liu, 50, was first introduced to American audiences as the beautiful, but ruthless attorney in Ally McBeal. She is also known for such hit films as Kill Bill, Charlie’s Angels and Kung Fu Panda.

The Hollywood Reporter says Liu will also star in Why Women Kill on CBS All Access in September. It is produced by Marc Cherry of Desperate Housewives fame. It is described as a dark comedic drama about three women from different eras-a 1960’s housewife, a 1980s socialite and a lawyer in 2018. Each has to deal with infidelity in their marriage.

Actresses Demi Moore and Rhea Perlman will also take part in the May 1 ceremonies to honor their friend.
