Olivia Hussey

Olivia Hussey is a British actress, known in the world as the performer of the role of Juliet. Winner of the Golden Globe Award.

Famous British actress Olivia Hussey was born on April 17, 1951. This joyful event took place in the Argentine capital - Buenos Aires. Olivia's father in those years performed on the stages of opera houses, masterly performed tango. Hussie tells little about life in Argentina, since with her mother and brother, after the divorce of her parents, she moved to London for permanent residence.

At the age of 4, Olivia had an obsession that the girl called a dream. The baby wanted to perform on stage and act in films. The family had no money to make their dreams come true. After the divorce, Hussie's mother could not provide a high standard of living for the children, but at the age of 7 the girl, having passed the audition, announced to the director of the film school that she would pay for the education on her own, since the "great actress" needed a single chance.

Through the mouth of a baby speaks the truth. But both the director of the educational institution and the parents found out about this later. In addition to her studies, the girl began to earn money as a model in magazines, later the first cameo roles appeared, the fee from which was enough not only for education, but also to replenish the family budget.

The official biography as an actress began for Olivia Hussey with the filming of the film about the football club "Manchester United". The girl had to show her love for the team on the screen, that is, to play a devoted cheerleader. Olivia succeeded in this role, so Hussey was soon invited to the theater. Vanessa Redgrave acted as a colleague on the stage. But soon the actress was forced to leave the institution, as her film career was more important.

And then there was an offer to test talent on auditions for the film "Romeo and Juliet". The project was directed by Franco Zeffirelli. Then Olivia was barely 15 years old, so the girl was perfect for the role of Juliet. In addition to Hussey, 800 girls attended the casting. Most of the applicants were beautiful and blue-eyed blondes.

But the girl from Argentina achieved what she wanted - Olivia reincarnated as the main character of this great love story. The director invited Leonard Whiting to play Romeo. As soon as the film was presented to the viewer, fame of unprecedented proportions fell on Hussey. Even now, this picture is admirable.

On-screen lovers constantly appeared on the covers of magazines, crowds of fans were waiting for young people in different cities of the world during the tour. Every now and then Olivia and Leonardo were invited to interviews, which sometimes replaced meals. This role earned Hussey her first significant career award, the Golden Globe.

Glory turned out to be too heavy a burden for the young actress, so after the end of the promo tour, the girl took a time out in her career. Numerous offers to shoot new films did not interest Olivia, so all invitations were declined by the girl. Hussey later admits that this was a fatal mistake that negatively influenced the future of the artist.

In the filmography of Olivia, you cannot find a large number of films, but there were noticeable ups in the career of an actress: successful roles were replaced by unsuccessful ones. Soon, problems appeared in Hussey's personal life, followed by a divorce. This led to a lack of money, so the very Zeffirelli, who gave the actress fame, came to the rescue.

It was at that time that the director was looking for a young woman to play the role of the Virgin Mary in the film Jesus of Nazareth. But Olivia dreamed of Mother Teresa. It took a quarter of a century to fulfill the desire. And so, when Hussey turned 50 years old, the actress received an invitation to play the long-awaited heroine.

Olivia's every morning began with a visit from the makeup artist. A complex makeup was applied to the artist's face, which made the woman 30 years old. The difficult and exhausting shooting did not spoil Hussey's mood, on the contrary, she felt an emotional uplift. Now the actress practically does not act in films. Olivia admits that in old age the probability of getting a role in a movie is small.

The British actress recalls the first romantic feelings she experienced towards the director Franco Zeffirelli. Hussey considered the man a genius of film art, a talent the world had never seen before. But dreams and romance collapsed when the young maiden found out that Franco prefers men to women. At the same time, the young "Romeo", that is, Leonard Whiting, tried to start an affair with Olivia. But the young man had practically no chance.

After filming Romeo and Juliet, the girl lived as a recluse in her mother's house. But a few months later, the world learned about the marriage of actress and American musician Dean Paul Martin. Soon the couple had a son, whom the couple named Alexander. In the future, he will also become an actor.

But this marriage did not last forever. In 1978, Hussey filed for divorce. Family life captivated the woman, so the career of an actress was thrown into a far corner, but after breaking up with her husband, Olivia was forced to return to the cinema.

A new man has appeared in Hussi's life - a singer from Japan Akira Fuse. Young people decided to register a marriage. The result of the relationship between the musician and the actress was the son Maximilian. But the constant life in two countries negatively affected the mutual understanding within the family. The lovers did not want to torment each other, so they terminated the union.

The actress did not despair and continued to seek happiness. But it found Olivia itself in 1989. Hussey met a rock singer and actor from the United States, David Glen Eisley. The man had long had romantic feelings towards the Juliet played by Olivia, so the lovers soon got married.

3 years after meeting in a creative family, a girl was born, who was named India Joy. David gave up his own career and focused on looking for work for his wife - he reincarnated as manager Hussey. Thanks to this, now the beloved could not part. The couple live in a spacious house in Los Angeles, they raise pigs. There are also cats and dogs on the farm.

Olivia now prefers to lead a healthy lifestyle, has excluded alcohol from the diet. The woman relaxes while meditating. Hussie's photos are available on the actress's pages on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
