Variety: 2019 may just be the year of Lucy Liu.
The actress-turned-director-and-producer will wrap up her seven-season run as Dr. Joan Watson on CBS crime drama “Elementary” and then star in new streaming series, “Why Women Kill,” which she will also direct. She also inked a development deal with ABC Studios Intl. for “Unsung Heroes,” an anthology series that centers on the untold story of a woman who was a pioneer in her time. And, on May 1, all these achievements (and more) will be celebrated with a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.

Recently, there have been many issues going on in the theater community in terms of inequality and disrespect. The Me Too movement has been one that has woken up many people about the issues in the entertainment industry, thus raising awareness which essentially was the main goal, due to the fact that no one knows what is going on behind the scenes. To read that a fundamental issue, such as harassment, is not clearly addressed in a theater’s policy, is something I found surprising. In a way, it makes sense that there have been an abundance of recent harassment cases throughout the past year or so which have been a result of the fact that is because no one is talking about the issue. This article has informed me that other people in the industry have also been making efforts to do the same. Being a student who aspires to be involved in the industry, reading this article has given me some solace. Though there is more awareness to be made and evolving to be done, it is reassuring to see that many are noticing the problems and advocating for the rights of people involved in theater.
