She set out to seek her fortune in Los Angeles.
Television
In the city of dreams, fortune smiled upon Olivia. She was invited to become a sports events reporter on Fox television channel. This meant immersing herself in the intricacies of football and women's basketball, but the beauty could not muster any enthusiasm for this mundane subject matter.
From 2006 to 2010, Mann graced the screens of G4, where she convinced the producers that she was fit for the role of co-host of the show "Attack of the Show."

Her silver screen debut occurred in 2004 when she appeared in the horror film "Scarecrow." Subsequently, offers from directors came pouring in. The year 2010 was particularly productive for Mann as she made appearances in four different productions, including the series "Chuck" and "Iron Man 2."
