She Had Cancer At Just 25 Years Old

Cobie Smulders is a wildly successful actress and model, who has starred both in Marvel franchises and sitcoms like How I Met Your Mother. While her career has reached great heights, Smulders’ life has not been so easy; when she was just 25, and during the shooting of How I Met Your Mother, Smulders was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. This is a very young age to receive such an earth-shattering diagnosis, and Smulders had to have multiple surgeries because the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes. Thankfully, she is now in remission.
