Actress Lucy Liu made multiple claims regarding her on-screen career in a recent interview‚ including that she and her female co-stars from the "Charlie's Angels" reboot were the first trio of women to grace magazine covers all at once.Liu appeared on Variety's podcast "Variety Studio" and was asked if she would consider another sequel to the popular "Charlie's Angels" franchise she starred in with Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore."I honestly don’t know how that’s going to be feasible‚" she told Variety. "There have been so many iterations‚ even after the fact. … In some ways‚ it’s such a strange thing to think about it. Times have changed so much since then‚" she added.From there‚ Liu pegged herself as part of a groundbreaking moment in the entertainment industry when the three women were doing publicity for the films."At that time‚ when we were doing publicity‚ they had never before had three women on a magazine cover‚" she claimed. "They didn’t even know how to do it. It was such a strange thing for women to collaborate and be seen as colleagues and friends. It was such a big moment in time‚ and now it’s shifted."Despite the claim‚ not only were Liu‚ Diaz‚ and Barrymore not the first three women to be photographed together for a mainstream Hollywood magazine‚ but the original cast of the TV show "Charlie's Angels" was on multiple internationally circulated magazines in the 1970s.Kate Jackson‚ Farrah Fawcett‚ and Jaclyn Smith all shared not only a 1976 cover of People magazine but also Time magazine that same year.1976 is the same year Charlies Angels premiered on tv too. Time magazine called them TVs super women pic.twitter.com/aLz4K0mNtg— Jeffs Comics (@jeffs_comics) October 6‚ 2017 As Hollywood in Toto noted‚ the four female stars of "The Golden Girls" also appeared on magazine covers together throughout the show's 1985-1992 run.Liu went on to make another claim that until 1997's drama "Ally McBeal‚" no female actress had led a show."Even when I was doing ‘Ally McBeal‚’ there had never been a lead woman in that way. There was Mary Tyler Moore and things like that‚ but the focus has changed. I’m not in charge of that‚ but I always enjoy the time that I have and then I move on. I never really dwell on anything like that. But I really would be shocked if that happened.""The Mary Tyler Moore Show" aired from 1970 to 1977‚ and in addition to "The Golden Girls‚" many other prominent sitcoms and dramas starring women aired before "Ally McBeal."Among the many were: "I Love Lucy‚" "Murder‚ She Wrote‚" "Bewitched‚" "Murphy Brown‚" "The Nanny‚" and more.According to Ranker‚ 20 of the top 70 "Best TV Shows with Female Leads" were made before Liu's cited television appearance.Liu's comments echoed claims of actress Jennifer Lawrence. Lawrence told Variety in December 2022 that no action movies had featured a female lead before she starred in "The Hunger Games" films."I remember when I was doing 'Hunger Games‚' nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn't work. We were told ... girls and boys can both identify with a male lead‚ but boys cannot identify with a female lead‚" Lawrence said.Audiences were quick to cite Sigourney Weaver in 1979's "Alien‚" along with Milla Jovovich‚ Angelina Jolie‚ Uma Thurman‚ Kate Beckinsale‚ and more as women who predated her performance. Jennifer Lawrence claims that before the Hunger Games there were no female protagonists. Really? — (@) Like Blaze News?
