Liu wants to be cryogenically frozen
Lucy Liu has revealed that she wants to be cryogenically frozen when she dies.

The actress, known for her roles in Chicago and Kill Bill, told Simon Doonan in his book Eccentric Glamour that she wants to be preserved in the wardrobe of US socialite Nan Kempner.

"When I die I wish to be cryogenically frozen in Nan Kempner's closet, and when I wake up, I can choose from her incredible collection. That would be wonderful."

Kempner, who died in 2005 at the age of 74, was once ranked 20th in a New York newspaper's poll to find the city's most fashionable women.

Oscar-winner Tilda Swinton also admitted in the book that she wanted to be "buried in a shallow grave of sand, done up to the nines in a huge flowery chiffon dress".
