Lucy Liu Replaced Thandie Newton in ‘Charlie’s Angels’
Thandie Newton as Alex Munday? If it sounds insane it’s because Lucy Liu did such a great job in the “Charlie’s Angels” film series, that it’s impossible seeing anyone else play Alex. But it turns out that the casting crew had picked Newton first. Then the actress got into an argument with the film’s director because she felt objectified and claimed her role was racially stereotyping her. So, she was asked to step down and Lucy Liu was brought in to take her place.
