Australian actress Yvonne Strahovski

Yvonne Strahovski appears to have given a new meaning to the term "saucy Aussie." ;-)

The daughter of Polish immigrants to Australia, she grew up in the state of New South Wales.  Having appeared in many TV shows Down Under, Yvonne Strahovski has made a big splash in the United States thanks largely to her role as CIA agent Sarah Walker in the NBC series "Chuck."

Sarah recruits the title character, a computer expert working as a clerk in a big-box electronics store, into secret agent service after he's received an e-mail from an old friend working for the CIA that has embedded the last remaining copy of America's biggest spy secrets into his brain. The show follows Chuck and his relationship with Sarah and with John Casey of the National Security Agency.

As of this writing, the series is in its fifth - and final - season.
