Hometown:

Assets:
Eurasian, Sexy Legs, Tight Body less
Introduction
Why did Maggie Q chose 'Q' as the letter to accompany Maggie? The answer is obvious: letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, N, O, P, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z were taken. M was available, but that just sounds dumb.
Seriously, her lastname is Quigley. Due to fact that most of the Chinese she work with at the time couldn't pronounce her lastname, so she shorten it to Q. Voted #17 in the AskMen.com's Top 99 Women 2008 Edition.
Early life
Maggie Q was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to an American father of French, Polish and Irish descent, and a Vietnamese mother. For math whizs working out the equation, that is 1+1 = extremely hot chick. Her parents met while her father was stationed in Vietnam, not that we care as long as Maggie is hot. After graduating from Mililani High School she travelled to Japan and Hong Kong to earn money as a fashion model. In 1998, she got her first role in a Chinese-language TV series. It must be noted that none of her background involves Chinese, so she must be smart as well as hot if she learned a new language.
Career
She has achieved celebrity status in Hong Kong and elsewhere in East Asia and is well on her way to A-list status here in the States. Her big breakthroughs from modeling into the film world came when she bagged lead roles in Hong Kong action thrillers. Domestically, her break came with Rush Hour 2 and really kicked into high gear when Mr. Couch Hopper called and cast her in Mission: Impossible III. She played a cocktail-dress wearing chick who loved fast cars. Please take a moment to process that.
Maggie most recently played one of the computer-hacking extortionists in the 2007 Bruce Willis action thriller, Live Free or Die Hard, the fourth and second best film in the popular Die Hard franchise. On August 29, 2007, Balls of Fury opened nationwide in the U.S. starring Maggie as the ping pong paddle-wielding niece of table tennis guru Master Wong. Wong and Balls. The two go hand-in-hand.
