Actress Sandra Oh, whose performance is Killing Eve has earned her a Golden Globe award, reveals that at some point, she was told that her Asian lineage will be a problem in making a career in Hollywood.
Talking to Marie Claire, Sandra Oh, who was born to Korean immigrant parents, says, “I’m grateful that it’s happened at 47, because I’ve done enough work on myself to really experience it. And then, too, it just has deeper meaning for me.”
Sandra’s agent once told her, “She said, ‘listen, I’m not going to lie. I’m going to tell you the truth’. It was basically, “Go back home and get famous, and then try and make a transition because I already have an Asian actress on my roster, and she hasn’t auditioned in three months. I don’t know what I could do for you.’”
However, Sandra didn’t stop and got her breakthrough role in Grey’s Anatomy.
