American actress Olivia Munn – whose mother is Chinese-Vietnamese – admits that being a minority in Hollywood, there weren’t that many opportunities for her when she was starting out in the industry.

“In the beginning, I was self-submitting for auditions – I didn’t have an agent – and you kind of take anything and every opportunity (that comes), ” she tells StarLifestyle during a virtual interview.
