Early Life
Strahovski was born in Campbelltown, a suburb of Sydney, as Yvonne Jaqueline Strzechowski, to Bozena and Peter Strzechowski. Her parents had emigrated from Tomaszow Mazowiecki, Poland. Strahovski speaks Polish and Australian English. She adopted the more phonetic spelling of Strahovski as her stage name at Chuck, which was at producer Josh Schwartz's behest for the sake of easier pronunciation. Strahovski's father is an electronic engineer, and her mother works as a lab technician. Strahovski started acting when she played Viola in a school production of Twelfth Night.
She spent her high school years attending Santa Sabina College, Strathfield. She graduated from University of Western Sydney's Theatre Nepean in 2003 and co-founded a small theater company.
