Who is she? The Korean-american actress has worked on titles like Russian Doll, the animated Spider-Man film series and Girls. Now, she's starring in the much anticipated indie flick, Past Lives.

The story follows Nora, a Korean-Canadian playwright living in New York City who is happily married to her Jewish-American husband, Arthur.
When her childhood sweetheart from Korea seeks her out to reconnect, she is confronted with memories of her past and has to evaluate how they've carried into her present.
What's the big deal? As Nora questions the path she's chosen and how it's affected her identity, Lee's own experiences helped her understand her character's struggles.

That included her own relationship with speaking Korean, and honing in on the intricacies of that cultural tie for the role.
