Maggie Q Biography
Quick Facts:
Shortened her last name from Quigley to Q in order to make it easier for Chinese audiences to pronounce.
Spokesmodel for Shiseido cosmetics and Louis Vuitton.
Sometimes credited as: Mei-Kei Lei; Meiqi Li; Maggie M. Quigley; Maggie Quigley
Of Vietnamese and Irish-American descent. Raised in Hawaii.
Was a fashion model and television personality before she became a movie actress.
Is the youngest of five children.
Although she is actually Vietnamese-American, Maggie pursued modeling careers first in Japan, then Taiwan, then Hong Kong. Her transition into acting was almost coincidental and since then she has become both a top model and actress in Hong Kong, along with garnering a certain amount of fame across Asia.
For her first several Hong Kong films, since Maggie could not actually speak Cantonese - she actually had to learn her lines phonetically. Some lines may also have been dubbed.
Mentions in an interview that her favorite food is Vietnamese food, since that's the food she grew up with at home.
Is Eurasian like fellow actresses Devon Aoki, China Chow, Kelly Hu, Kristin Kreuk, 'Jaymee Ong and actors Andrew Johnston, Brandon Lee, Keanu Reeves, Rob Schneider, Russell Wong and Michael Wong.
Her Vietnamese mother met her Irish-American father while he was stationed in Vietnam.
Short BIO:
Born to an American father and a Vietnamese mother, Maggie Denise Quigley was raised among the palm trees and golden sand of Honolulu, Hawaii. Her destiny, however, awaited beyond her picturesque island home, and at the age of 18 she moved to Hong Kong in order to pursue a career in modeling.
Maggie's unique look made her a popular attraction and before long she was gracing the covers of major publications such as Cosmopolitan, Harpers Bazaar, Elle, FHM, and Marie Claire. Her burgeoning supermodel status prompted a plethora of movie offers and Maggie finally made her big-screen debut in 1999's The Legendary Tai Fei. There was just one problem: She didn't actually speak Cantonese, meaning Maggie had to learn all of her lines phonetically.
Additional roles -- and plenty of voice coaching -- followed in 2000 with Model From Hell and the immensely popular Gen-Y Cops, an action film produced by Jackie Chan. Chan was so impressed with Maggie's acting that he had her cast in Manhattan Midnight, starring Richard Grieco, and included her in his own film, Rush Hour 2. She teamed up with Chan again in 2004 for Around the World in 80 Days and starred opposite Tom Cruise in the highly anticipated Mission: Impossible III.
