All About the Mother: Cristin Milioti Looks Back, From ‘The Sopranos’ to ‘Black Mirror’ and ‘The Penguin’


Cristin Milioti looks back on her career, from "The Sopranos" and "How I Met Your Mother" to "Black Mirror" and "The Penguin."

On HBO’s “ The Penguin ” last fall, she earned exuberant reviews playing Sofia Falcone, the ferocious scion of Gotham City’s biggest crime boss opposite Colin Farrell’s titular villain, introduced in the 2022 blockbuster “The Batman.” Then this spring, she headlined the first sequel episode of Netflix’s “ Black Mirror ” anthology series, the sci-fi adventure “ USS Callister: Into Infinity.” Both projects have been so high profile, and so acclaimed, that the 39-year-old actor has been churning through a relentless cycle of press and promotion for the better part of a year. Milioti guest starred as a comedy writer who embodies the over-sexualized and infantilized anti-feminist stereotype of the early 2010s so completely that fans still quote the character’s catchphrase — “I’m a very sexy baby” — back to her. Adapted from the beloved 2007 feature film, this Broadway show won the Tony for best musical; Milioti was nominated for best actress for her performance as a Czech musician who falls in love with an Irish busker.
