Olivia Munn is an actor, activist and mother who was recently named to TIME’s 2025 Women of the Year and TIME’s 2024 100 Most Influential People in Health. She will be seen starring in the new Apple TV+ series Your Friends & Neighbors.

In 2024, Munn posted the story of her ongoing battle with breast cancer. Her story was read and shared by a global audience and led to countless women being proactive about Breast Cancer detection. The National Cancer Institute said that Munn’s outreach “led to a surge in visits to the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool site” and the rate of women taking of this formerly little-known test increased 4000%.

Best known for her brilliant work across three seasons of Aaron Sorkin’s The Newsroom, she also starred in such iconoclastic films as Magic Mike, The Predator, X-Men: Apocalypse and Office Christmas Party. She began her career as the breakout star of Attack of the Show on the G4 network in 2006. Munn was then hired as the first East Asian Correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
Olivia Munn was an early and active Silence Breaker in the #MeToo movement, exposing predatory behavior in Hollywood and championing other victims who came forward to share their stories. For her efforts, she was honored by the United Nations Foundation.
Munn became a leader in the #StopAsianHate movement, raising money, filming public service announcements and coordinating with mayors and police departments throughout the country. Her social media posts following an attack on an elderly Chinese woman in New York City led directly to the suspect being identified and arrested. She was invited to the White House by President Biden and Vice President Harris to be in attendance when he signed the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act into law.
