In the United States, the 47-year-old actress-producer is a sitcom star. She became known for her role as Dee Reynolds in "Philadelphia" (2005), a series still filming where she plays an unpopular, often mocked woman who dreams of becoming an actress. She is also noted for her role as Mackenzie Murphy in the comedy television series "Very Bad Nanny", donning the costume of an irresponsible woman dreaming of a billionaire's life.
Kaitlin Olson began her career at the Groundlings Theatre, a Los Angeles improvisational theater and sketch troupe and school, where she learned from great comedians like Will Ferrell and Phil Hartman. The Portland native has played small roles in film and television since the early 2000s in relatively unknown shows in France.

She has also toured Bosnia, Kosovo and Norway for the USO, an American nonprofit charity that provides live entertainment for members of the U.S. military and their families.
At the age of 12, she suffered a serious bicycle accident that left her with a skull bill and a facial surgery. "I still have a hole in my head. It was the size of a lime. Now it's the size of a quarter of a lime," she told the American media Glamour, to which she confessed to having been mocked in connection with this accident during her youth. Very shy because of these taunts, she says she has been able to assert herself and gain confidence in herself thanks to the theater.
A fan of the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team, Kaitlin Olson has been married to Rob McElhenney since 2008, an actor with whom she plays in the series "Philadelphia". The couple, who began secretly dating during the show's second season, have two children, Axel and Leo.
