== Early life and education[edit] ==
Colman was born in Norwich on 30 January 1974,[4][5] the daughter of nurse Mary (née Leakey) and chartered surveyor Keith Colman.[6][7] She was privately educated at Norwich High School for Girls and Gresham's School in Holt, Norfolk. Colman's first role was Jean Brodie in a school production of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie at age 16.[8] She cites her mother's interrupted career as a ballet dancer as an inspiration to pursue acting professionally.[9] Colman spent a term studying primary education at Homerton College, Cambridge before studying drama at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, from which she graduated in 1999.[10] During her time at Cambridge, she appeared in the Channel 4 series The Word in 1995 under her nickname "Colly",[11] auditioned for the Cambridge University Footlights Dramatic Club and met future co-stars David Mitchell and Robert Webb.[2][10][12][13]
Colman had to adopt a different stage name when she began working professionally because Equity (the UK actors' union) already had an actress named Sarah Colman. "One of my best friends at university was called Olivia and I always loved her name," Colman told The Independent in 2013. "I was never Sarah; I was always called by my nickname, Colly, so it didn't seem so awful not to be called Sarah."[2]
== Career[edit] ==
=== 2000s: Early work on television[edit] ===
Colman made her professional acting debut in 2000 at age 26 as part of the BBC Two comedy sketch show, Bruiser. She has appeared in a number of BBC, ITV and Channel 4 television series, such as People Like Us, Look Around You, Black Books, The Office and The Time of Your Life. Colman provided the voice-over for Channel 5's poll for Britain's Funniest Comedy Character.
She regularly appeared on BBC Radio 4 comedies, such as Concrete Cow, Think the Unthinkable, The House of Milton Jones and Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Colman was the voice of Minka, the Polish secretary in the Radio 4 comedy Hut 33 set in a fictional code-breaking hut at Bletchley Park during World War II.[14] Colman appeared as Bev, with Mark Burdis as Kev, in a series of television advertisements for AA car insurance. She provided voices for the Andrex "Be kind to your behind" and Glade fragrance advertisements (playing a gorilla).
On several projects, Colman has worked with the comedians Mitchell and Webb.[13] She joined them in 2003 to play Sophie in the Channel 4 comedy Peep Show. Other joint ventures have included radio's That Mitchell and Webb Sound and its television version, That Mitchell and Webb Look. She decided to leave the programme after her agent suggested that she was becoming too closely associated with their work and needed to widen her horizons, a decision which was made "with tears".[15] Colman continued to appear on Peep Show less often until it ended in 2015.
She had a recurring role in the surrealist comedy Green Wing from 2004 to 2006. One of her earliest film credits is naturist Joanna Roberts in the 2006 mockumentary film Confetti, a role she has described as "the worst experience of my life".[13]
In 2007, Colman starred as Alice in the comedy film Grow Your Own and as PC Doris Thatcher in the action comedy film Hot Fuzz. She also played a lead role in Paddy Considine's short film Dog Altogether. She appeared in October and November 2008 in the BBC sitcom Beautiful People (based on the life of Simon Doonan) as Debbie Doonan, Simon's mother. Colman made a guest appearance in the episode "Naomi" of the series Skins as Naomi's mother, Gina. In 2009, she appeared as the character Bernice in the episode "Small Mercies" of the ITV mystery-crime series Midsomer Murders.[16]

Colman appeared the following year in the BBC drama Exile, written by Danny Brocklehurst and starring John Simm and Jim Broadbent. From 2011 to 2012, she played Ian Fletcher's (Hugh Bonneville) lovelorn secretary Sally Owen in Twenty Twelve, a comedy series about planning for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Colman rejoined Considine in 2011 for his feature-film directorial debut, Tyrannosaur, receiving the BIFA Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a British Independent Film and the Empire Award for Best Actress.[17] She played Carol Thatcher that year in the Academy Award-winning drama The Iron Lady, with Meryl Streep and Jim Broadbent, for which she won the London Film Critics' Circle Award for British Actress of the Year.[18]

Colman was nominated for the London Film Critics' Circle Award for Supporting Actress of the Year and received the BIFA Award for Best Supporting Actress.[25]
Colman was praised for her performance as Angela Burr in the 2016 AMC-BBC miniseries The Night Manager, for which she was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, in addition to winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Miniseries or Television Film.[26] She starred as Deborah Flowers that year in the Channel 4 black-comedy series, Flowers.[27] Colman voiced Strawberry in the Netflix-BBC animated miniseries, Watership Down.[28] She played Hildegarde Schmidt, Princess Dragomiroff's lady's maid, in Kenneth Branagh's 2017 remake of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express.

Colman appeared in the musical fantasy film Wonka, which explores Willy Wonka's origins as a prequel to the Roald Dahl novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

== Personal life[edit] ==
While performing in a late-1990s Footlights production of Sir Alan Ayckbourn's Table Manners, Colman met Ed Sinclair, a third-year law student who had become disillusioned with law and preferred to write.[68][69][70] Colman and Sinclair married in August 2001[8] and have three children.[71] They live in Herne Hill, south London.[72]
Since 2013, Colman has been a judge of the Norwich Film Festival.[73] In August 2014, she was one of 200 public figures who signed a letter to The Guardian opposing Scottish independence in the run-up to the September 2014 referendum on the issue.[74] In an interview with The Sunday Times in November 2019 on her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown, Colman described herself as a "leftie monarchist", having previously been a life-long republican.[75] She signed an open letter in November 2020 condemning violence and discrimination against trans women.[76] In November 2023, Colman signed a letter that called for a ceasefire in the Israel–Hamas war and condemned western cultural institutions for "repressing, silencing and stigmatising Palestinian voices and perspectives."[77]
Colman was a subject of the UK genealogy programme Who Do You Think You Are? in July 2018.[78] Researchers discovered that her fourth great-grandfather Richard Campbell Bazett had been born on the island of Saint Helena[79] and that his son Charles Bazett, Colman's third great-grandfather had married Harriot Slessor. She had been born in the Indian city of Kishanganj[78] and Colman travelled to India to investigate whether she may have had Indian ancestry.[80] After the episode aired, the Berkshire Record Office published the will of Slessor's mother; her name was Seraphina Donclere (evidently of European origin) and she had died in 1810.[81][82]
== Philanthropy[edit] ==

Colman presented two of the 2013 Mind Media Awards,[83] which celebrate accurate, responsible and sensitive portrayals of mental health across the media. Colman believes that "the media industry has huge influence and with that comes a responsibility to contest the stigma that sadly still exists, through accurate representation". She has spoken openly to the Big Issue about her experience of postnatal depression after the birth of her first child.[8]
Inspired by her research for the film Tyrannosaur, in 2014, Colman became the patron of the UK charity Tender, which uses theatre and the arts to educate young people about preventing violence and sexual abuse. Colman has said that domestic violence prevention can make a difference in the lives of young people.[84] Other charity work included participating in the Alzheimer's Society's Holkham Hall Memory Walk in September 2013. Colman's great-grandmother suffered from dementia and her mother was involved in running a nursing home for patients.[85] She has also supported charity campaigns for the Marie Curie Great Daffodil Appeal for the terminally ill.[86]
In December 2014, Colman was involved in a BBC Radio documentary about the plight of women in Afghanistan for Amnesty International UK. Several women who told their stories to journalist Lyse Doucet were unable to appear because their lives might have been at risk; Colman read their stories as part of the documentary and said that the UK must not abandon Afghan women to the Taliban.[87] An ambassador for UNICEF UK since 2015, she became its president in 2020.[88]
Colman became patron of the Anthony Nolan blood-cancer charity in 2018,[89] which she said helped a friend of hers.[90]
