Happy Birthday, Yvonne!

July 30 is a momentous day in history. It was this day only a few decades ago (we won’t discuss a lady’s age), when Yvonne Strahovski was born Maroubra, Sydney in the country of Australia.

These days she wows us as Sarah Walker in Chuck, along with a few other roles coming our way before too long.

Strahotski.com doesn’t have a lot to offer Ms. Strahovski in the way of gifts, but we do recognize this special day. Though it may not be special for everyone in the world, it means something for a fan-site dedicated to Yvonne’s career.

On behalf of Rob, Devon, Scott, myself and all of the loyal fans of Ms. Strahovski, we wish Yvonne a very happy birthday! Here’s to hoping we’ll be celebrating her successful career for many years to come.

(This may seem early, but it is already the 30th in Australia, so her birthday has technically already arrived)

Be sure to leave a comment expressing your birthday wishes for Ms. Strahovski!

Yvonne at Comic-Con

Yesterday was Comic-Con 2009, and the whole Chuck cast was there in San Diego to thank the fans for saving the show, and to talk about next season. Yvonne was beautiful as always, but unfortunately didn’t get to answer a lot of questions on the panel.

She did, however, get to dance to a hilarious live performance by Jeffster:

In addition to the panels, there are always lots of interviews and press appearances at Comic-Con. Our lovely Yvonne gave a great interview to Kevin Pereira from G4’s Attack of the Show. I can never get enough of the Aussie Accent Awesomeness:

Video Game Heroine?

Sleuths in our forums have recently uncovered an interesting fact about some work Yvonne has been doing on the side.  Apparently, she’s dabbling in video game voiceover and modeling.

Mass Effect is a game from Bioware released in 2007. Fast forward two years later, and a new game in the series is coming out for the iPhone called Mass Effect Galaxy, which introduces the character of Miranda.

The game is intended to serve as a narrative bridge between the first Mass Effect and the upcoming Mass Effect 2 in 2010.

Yvonne provides the voice for Miranda, whom was also modeled after Ms. Strahovski. The screenshot above makes it incredibly clear; the profile looks exactly like Yvonne.

Though Miranda is slated to appear in Mass Effect 2, there is no confirmation as to whether Yvonne will reprise the role.

If you’re into gaming, it might be worth a look to get a digital Yvonne Strahovski fix.  I might have to check out Mass Effect 2 next year!

Edit by Rob: Here’s a link to Mass Effect Galaxy on the app store for you iPhone and iPod Touch people out there… Mass Effect Galaxy

The Canyon is Coming!

I just got a tip from Karina, the Gluten-Free Goddess that the trailer for The Canyon has finally been released!

The movie stars Yvonne Strahovski and will be premiering at the Fantasia Festival in Montreal.

Check out the trailer below for some Yvonne in a pretty different role than Sarah Walker. You can read more about the film over at Twitch Films.

I should point out that Yvonne looks amazing in the trailer, though she seems to have failed to escape from doing scenes in her underwear.

Be sure to check out our original article on the movie from a couple of years ago, where we got some great words about Yvonne Strahovski from Karina.  Sounds like Ms. Strahovski is every bit as delightful as she seems.

Here’s hoping we see a relatively wide distribution in the US so that we can all get an Yvonne fix on the silver screen.

Yvonne in Best Life

Though Yvonne’s been in a few top 100s and top 10s lately, I’ve failed to get the word out in a timely manner.  Reader bzzg has caught my attention this time, though, with some nice scans of Yvonne Strahovski from Best Life magazine.

I’ve thrown them up in the magazine pics gallery for posterity.  There are 3 in total, so be sure to head over and check out the third!

Yvonne is as beautiful as always, and if you read the text you’ll learn what she looks for in a man.  Why does it seem that magazines are so interested in that topic?

Enjoy!
