Olivia Hussey
Actor Olivia Hussey is perhaps best remembered as one of the rare Juliets to play the role while actually a teenager in Franco Zeffirelli's "Romeo and Juliet" (1968). The Buenos Aires-born, London-raised actress subsequently appeared on productions "Death on the Nile" (1978), "The Cat and the Canary" (1979), "Lost Horizon" (1973), "Distortions" (1987) and "Save Me" (1994). Hussey has also appeared on TV with some regularity in guest spots, TV-movies and miniseries; reunited with Zeffirelli, for instance, she brought the appropriate gentility to the role of the Virgin Mary in the miniseries "Jesus of Nazareth" (1977). Olivia Hussey died on December 27, 2024 in Burbank, CA at the age of 73.
