“一年前，我就答應了《三國》的編劇去拍。并不僅僅因為我從沒演過古裝戲，而且看完那個劇本我哭了，它完全打動了我，所以我毅然前往。為了照顧我的角色，編劇特地把曹操孫子的這個角色改成了孫女。”Maggie Q興奮地說，這是華語影壇第一次正視她，“不同于之前的花瓶角色，這次我的形象有了巨大突破，沒人相信Maggie Q可以這樣，穿著戰(zhàn)甲與人在沙場決斗。外面都在傳我和劉德華有愛情戲，完全沒有，我們在戲里是死對頭。”
Better known as Maggie Q, Margaret Denise Quigley (born on May 22, 1979) is an American actress and former fashion model and television personality. She initially gained fame in Hong Kong.
She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to an American father of
Polish, Irish, and French descent (originally based in New York) and a Vietnamese mother. Her parents met while her father was stationed in Vietnam. Maggie is the youngest of five children.
She has two sisters and two half-
siblings from her mother's previous marriage in Vietnam. The family moved to Hawaii and settled in Mililani. She dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, but after graduating from Mililani High School she traveled to Japan and Hong Kong to earn money as a fashion model and burst onto the Hong Kong movie scene. In 1998 she got her first role in a Chinese TV series, and she has been acting ever since.
She changed her name to the easily pronounceable "Maggie Q" (for the Chinese audience) and eventually became a full-fledged superstar in Asia.
While still relatively unfamiliar to audiences in the United States, she has achieved celebrity status in Hong Kong and elsewhere in East Asia. Because of her non-Chinese heritage, many of her Asian film appearances are in English or dubbed in Chinese.
Her big breakthroughs into the film world came when she bagged the lead roles in the Hong Kong action thrillers Gen-Y Cops and Naked Weapon, in which she played the sexy but vulnerable martial artist assassin Charlene Ching.
She pursued modeling careers first in Japan, then Taiwan and 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. She is a successful model and rising actress, featuring in magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Elle, FHM and Marie Claire amongst many others. Her film credits include Gen-Y Cops, Manhattan Midnight, Rush Hour 2 and Naked Weapon.
She was dancing pretty dirtily in Naked Weapon and she looks gorgeous in her role as a Chinese lady-killer from the Black Scorpion gang in "Around the world in 80 days".
