Lydia Look, a multiple award winning multi-lingual actress and adept at both comedy and drama, is described in the Lifetime TV Movie Mistress Hunter as "Lydia's character, Hannah, is unsettlingly confident and shrewd...She's not someone you would want to mess with. Ever! That being said, Look offsets the tension with choice moments of understated humor, giving Hannah a wonderful depth and gifting the film with some of its most memorable scenes. The chemistry between Lydia and Lauralee is magical" (Allen Foster/Entertaining Options) or as the audiobook narrator of best selling author Kevin Kwan's CrazyY Rich Asians sequels, China Rich Girlfriend and Rich People Problems where booklistreader raves that "Lydia Look...with energetic aplomb, provide emphatic punctuation to the shenanigans of Kwan's uber-rich characters."
