Lucy Liu Tours Quake-Battered Pakistan

Posted Feb 1st 2006 1:35PM by TMZ Staff

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS


ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- Lucy Liu, the high-kicking star of "Charlie's Angels," showed her softer side Wednesday touring areas in Pakistan devastated by the Oct. 8 earthquake.

The 37-year-old actress, who arrived Tuesday and was to depart Thursday, didn't speak to the media as she visited the disaster zone with UNICEF, the U.N. children's agency.

Her visit comes after Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie went on a three-day tour of the area in late November. Jolie, a goodwill ambassador for the U.N., also met with President Gen. Pervez Musharraf.

The quake killed about 87,000 people in Pakistani Kashmir and the country's northwest.
