[edit] Early life

Born in Maroubra, a suburb of Sydney, as Yvonne Strzechowski, she adopted the more phonetic spelling of Yvonne Strahovski as her stage name at Chuck producer Josh Schwartz's behest for the sake of easier pronunciation.

Yvonne spent her high school years attending Santa Sabina College, Strathfield. She is a graduate of University of Western Sydney's Theatre Nepean with a Bachelor of Arts in Performance.

[edit] Career

Strahovski speaks fluent Polish and employed it in a brief exchange in the Chuck episode "Chuck Versus the Wookiee". Although she portrays an American in the series, she briefly spoke in her real Australian accent in the episode "Chuck Versus The Ex". Her audition footage, which is included in the DVD set Chuck: The Complete First Season, can be seen on YouTube^[1][2].
