Olivia Munn, the former Daily Show correspondent, is making a splash with her role in I Don’t Know How She Does It, which also stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Pierce Brosnan, and Christina Hendricks. In the film, Munn plays Momo’s associate assistant to Kate (Parker), who is dedicated solely to her career, unlike many of the other characters in the film who try to balance the demands of work with family life.

In her own life, Munn struggles with the question of whether or not women can have it all. “I’ve struggled…with this career and how much do you spend on one, and then when do you spend time on your family life and personal life? Because, I think, my mother, my aunts, I look at them and they went to university and they got the degrees and then they had to become housewives and mothers. Some people just want to do that which is amazing and great, but I think, as to be a complete woman, you have to be able to have other passions, you do.”

Munn has been busy this year. She will appear on a new show created by Aaron Sorkin that will come out next year on HBO and is appearing in Steven Soderbergh’s anticipated new film, Magic Mike. Nevertheless, Munn, who has had incredible success with her book, Suck It, Wonderwoman!, hopes to eventually write more. “I am going to be writing very soon… some stuff,” remarks Munn.
