The verdict

Born in Nepean, Ontario (now part of Ottawa) to Korean immigrant parents, Sandra Oh attended the National Theatre School of Canada before Grey's Anatomy and Killing Eve made her one of the most celebrated actors of her generation. The first Asian woman nominated for a Lead Actress Emmy. From Nepean. We are not surprised at all.
