Olivia munn
She is attractive and intelligent, and has character. She is Olivia Munn and it is Sloan Sabbith, the character from “The Newsroom” that has made her known. Her success on television has allowed her to try her luck in the movies, where she has already worked with big names like Matthew McConaughey, Johnny Depp or Gwyneth Paltrow.
Olivia’s beauty is a result of her diverse backgrounds: her mother is of Chinese descent and her father has English, German, and Irish roots. She was born in Oklahoma but spent most of her childhood in Tokyo because her stepfather, a member of the US Air Force, was stationed there. As a child, she participated as a children’s clothing model and also in some theater productions. When her parents divorced her, she returned to her hometown, where she finished high school and studied journalism at university.
Munn moved to Los Angeles to pursue her career as an actress and model. There she began with various works for television: the most famous, and the one that placed her face to face with the public, was the one she did in “Attack of the Show!”, a daily comedy program that helped her develop her ability to provoke Laughter. Then came the series. Beyond the Break , Greek , Perfect Couples , and New Girl . With them her face became more and more known on the small screen.
And then came The Newsroom , a series about good journalism, about a bunch of crazy little guys who are out to change the world. She played Sloan Sabbith, an economic journalist – a profession the actress knew well thanks to her studies – as intelligent as she was clumsy when it came to relating to people, something that made her a tremendously funny woman. Munn’s work was highly valued by Aaron Sorkin , the creator of the series, who gave more and more importance to her character.
Thanks to this, more jobs began to appear in the cinema, although always secondary and in films that, despite their good casts, did not end up being successful: Magic Mike , Deliver Us From Evil , Mortdecai . Olivia Munn hasn’t gotten her big break yet, but she will. Her talent for both light comedy and more serious drama make her a versatile actress. In addition, she is the prototype of a strong woman capable of creating characters with a lot of presence and character. And that’s why she adores Wonder Woman, her idol: “I really like Wonder Woman and I like Batman. But of course, I love her a little more because she is a strong female figure. And there aren’t many female superheroes out there…”
Olivia has the qualities to become a sought after actress in Hollywood, but so far her roles on the big screen have not allowed her to develop all her talent. The question is: when will she finally succeed?
