Sarah Shahi

Resilience, grace, and versatility define Sarah Shahi, a powerhouse actress, producer, and author. Celebrated for her distinctive roles, Shahi gained inspiration for her characters from her own life experiences and observations, which she channels into her storytelling on- and off-screen.

Shahi skyrocketed to global fame as the lead in Netflix’s highly talked-about limited series, Sex/Life, where she became a symbol of female empowerment, unapologetic passion, and self-discovery. A proud first-generation Persian American, she fiercely advocates for women who lack a voice, using her signature humor and raw honesty to inspire change. Shahi embraces every challenge with the same fearlessness she brings to the screen, proving that reinvention isn’t just a role she plays—it’s who she is.

Splitting her time between Texas and LA, Shahi is a devoted single mom to three wildly energetic kids—Wolf, Violet, and Knox—who keep her on her toes and in need of a nap. Their love-filled household also includes three dogs—Star, Hershey, and Cranberry—because, clearly, she thrives on mayhem. It’s a wonder she even had time to write this book.
