Article
Olivia Hussey (née Osuna; 17 April 1951 – 27 December 2024) was an Argentine and British actress. The daughter of Argentine singer Osvaldo Ribó and Englishwoman Alma Joy Hussey, Hussey was born in Buenos Aires and spent most of her early life in her mother's native England. She aspired to become an actress at a young age and studied drama at London's Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts.
Hussey began acting professionally as an adolescent, appearing in a 1966 London production of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. This led to her being scouted for the role of Juliet in Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, gaining acclaim and wide recognition for her performance. In 1974, she appeared as the lead character Jess Bradford in the cult slasher film Black Christmas. Hussey reunited with Zeffirelli in the miniseries Jesus of Nazareth (1977) as Mary and appeared as Rosalie Otterbourne in John Guillermin's Agatha Christie adaptation Death on the Nile (1978).
