I loved her and Leonard Whiting in that movie. Both gifted actors who sadly never again achieved that level of acclaim. Olivia was stunningly beautiful. So is her daughter, who looks very much like her. I had a huge crush on Leonard Whiting, but he has not aged well. RIP Olivia.

1983 and I think it still is. Have to say I had a huge crush on Leonard Whiting back in the day.

Olivia Hussey Eisley, who died yesterday at the age of 73.

“Olivia, we have shared so much since we were two sweet innocent children clinging onto each other for dear life as every photo of us attests to,” read a comment posted from his wife Lynn Whiting’s Instagram on the photo shared by Hussey’s account announcing her death. “You have never been frightened of fighting to fix everything wrong in this world.”

The statement continued, “Rest now my beautiful Juliet no injustices can hurt you now. And the world will remember your beauty inside and out forever. Leonard.”
