Coming of age in pre-Code Hollywood, she knows how dangerous the movie business is and how limited the roles are for a Chinese American girl from Hungarian Hill--but she doesn't care. She'd rather play a monster than a maid. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut in Luli's world, the worst monsters in Hollywood are not the ones on screen.
