Olivia Hussey



Olivia Hussey is an Argentine-British actress born on April 17, 1951. She is best known as Juliet in the 1968 version of Romeo and Juliet, Jess in Black Christmas and Rebecca in the 1982 version of Ivanhoe. Her daughter is the actress India Eisley.

This actress provides examples of:

 * Dawson Casting: Famously averted. Olivia was actually a teenager when she played Juliet.
 * Led to a funny bit of irony. When the movie was released in 1968, she wasn't allowed to attend the London premier because a nude scene in the film gave it a rating too high for the then-17 year old. The nude scene in question? Her own.
 * Happily Married: To David Glen Eisley.
 * What Beautiful Eyes: These are one of the first things you will notice about her.
 * Why Did It Have to Be Snakes: Olivia suffered from agoraphobia.
