On this day in Horror History, Olivia Hussey was born. A horror starlet that has lent her beauty and talent to Black Christmas (1974) and Stephen King’s IT (1990), the veteran actress of Argentina descent has stunned audiences for nearly half a century. In her break-out role as Juliet in the classic Franco Zeffirelli film adaption of the Shakespeare play, she would captivate movie goers and spawn an illustrious career. It was after the release of that film, that Hussey would ultimately find herself in one of the most peculiar of circumstances ever experienced by any actress, as she was unable to legally view the premier of Romeo and Juliet (1968) in London because she was under the age of 18 and the film had a nude scene.. Regardless that she was the one nude in the film.
“Have the confidence to be your own person.” - Olivia Hussey
