 * 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.
