Weeks before the Woolsey fire was setting its destructive course inside the city limits, ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ star Yvonne Strahovksi became a mother.
Yvonne Strahovski, who stars in Season 3 of"The Handmaid’s Tale" on Hulu, near her home in Malibu.
“I didn’t know there was a fire, but I was breastfeeding my son all night long, and I remember getting up and going outside to look over the hills and I just had a really bad feeling,” she says with her Australian lilt unconcealed. “And, sure enough, the next morning, our neighbor knocked on our door and said we had to evacuate. There we were, still trying to figure out what the hell we were doing with a baby, how to be parents, having to pack it all up.
“It’s been interesting,” Strahovksi says of how her real life journey into motherhood is converging with her character’s. “I think so much of motherhood is putting yourself aside, putting aside all your fears and all your selfishness and all your flaws and giving the best self to your child. I think Serena did that at the end of the season. It took her a big, long journey to learn how to do it, but she did it.
Still, the juxtaposition of her mostly joyous real-life motherhood journey and her tumultuous fictional one was something Strahovski worried about. While growing up in Sydney, Strahovski would grab her dad’s “brick-like” video camera and make up shows to film with her friends. Strahovski’s parents — her dad, an electronic engineer, and her mom, a lab technician — are from Warsaw but moved to Australia, where she was born and raised.
