Sandra Oh on ‘Killing Eve’ Where has Sandra Oh been?
For a decade, she was a fixture on primetime television as Dr. Cristina Yang, the comically humorless, fiercely ambitious surgeon on Shonda Rhimes’s first ABC hit Grey’s Anatomy. Cristina’s relationship with Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) would serve as the emotional anchor through all the plot twists, bomb threats, sudden deaths, and McDreamys.
Oh left that role on her own accord four years ago, and since then, she’s done smaller, more modest projects (most notably Catfight with Anne Heche) for an actor who earned five Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe for her work. But Sandra Oh is back, and for the first time in her career, as the lead of a major television show, in Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s drama Killing Eve, which premiered Sunday night on BBC America. Both Killing Eve and Catfight have a pair of female adversaries at their core. Those are just the spiky places I feel are so interesting to explore. Did you ever consider doing a British accent? You and Phoebe? Sandra Oh’s Been Waiting 30 Years for a Show Like Killing Eve.
For four years after she left Grey’s Anatomy, Sandra Oh waited.
She waited for offers to come in, juicy scripts that could come alive in the hands of her Golden Globe–winning talent. Sure, she did acting work here and there; a lead turn in the indie Catfight, a cheeky supporting role in the comedy Tammy, an arc in the drama series American Crime, a few plays. But there was nothing on the scale of Cristina Yang, the sarcastic surgeon she played on Grey’s for nearly a decade—a standout performance that turned the Korean-Canadian actress into a household name, and earned her five Emmy nominations in a row. The lack of certain offers was, Oh says, heartbreaking at the time. These days, though, the deeply pragmatic actress says she’s letting go of expectations: “That’s where I’m at. The show, from Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge, is based on books by Luke Jennings; in the series, Polastri is white. “It’s like, ‘Oh, it’s so easy!
In Oh’s hands, Eve Polastri is littered with quirks. Li Tobler. Biography[edit] Acting and early years with Giger: 1966–1971[edit] Not much is known of Li Tobler's early life.
She was born in Switzerland in 1948. In 1966, she met surrealist artist H. R. Meanwhile, following her graduation from K. There were reportedly tumultuous goings-on, involving promiscuity by both partners and frequent use of drugs. Depression and suicide: 1971–1975[edit] In 1971, Giger and Tobler visited director Fredi M. Following this incident, Tobler started becoming heavily depressed. Bizarre homage[edit] Giger was accused by some people as negatively influencing Tobler (who was regularly dealing with depression) with the bleakness and morbidity of his work.[4] Nevertheless, Giger was devastated by Tobler's death and felt an emptiness in his life, which was reflected by the even darker tone his work assumed from that point onwards.
