Olivia munn’s Breast Cancer Advocacy Saves ‘Inside Edition’ reporter’s Life
Updated June 18, 2025
Alison Hall, a correspondent for “inside Edition,” says actress Olivia Munn’s public battle with breast cancer prompted her to undergo testing that revealed her own early-stage cancer. Hall received a diagnosis of stage zero breast cancer after taking a risk assessment test, spurred by Munn’s advocacy for early detection. The diagnosis was confirmed during Hall’s first MRI screening.
Hall and munn met for the first time Saturday at Leon’s restaurant in Greenwich Village. They filmed their encounter, which will be broadcast on ”Inside edition.” Hall noted that Munn had been privately supportive, even sending a care package after her surgery.
Hall underwent a double mastectomy in January, followed by reconstructive surgery in May. As the cancer was detected early, she avoided chemotherapy and radiation, treatments her mother needed 20 years ago when battling stage 2B breast cancer. Hall also shared letters from seven other women who said Munn’s openness encouraged them to seek testing, believing hundreds more have been similarly impacted by Munn’s breast cancer awareness.
Hall reflected on the emotional aspects of surviving cancer, saying, “as I’m learning as a cancer survivor, you never really feel done. You’re always looking over your shoulder… But I do feel really good and proud of myself that I’m through this really hard part.”
She also spoke about body image after her surgery. “Body image for women is a really big deal… And then this life event happens, and you need to sort of reframe your mind with it,” Hall said. “I really see my new body as something to be proud of. It showcases all that I’ve been through.”
