Hirschy has reached perfection, and this perfection can only be instantaneous, but also eternal!

Olivia Hessi was born on April 17, 1951 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to a British legal secretary, a father of an Argentine tango singer, and her parents divorced when she was two years old. In 1958, when she was 7 years old, her mother took her and her brother to london, and later she studied theatre for five years at the prestigious Italia Conti Academy.

1965 The Battle of the Villa Fiorita

In 1968, Olivia Hessie first appeared on the Theatrical Stage in London in a play called The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, in which she played the role of Jenny and was paired with Vanessa Redgrave for her superb acting skills and moving beauty in this play, in which Olivia Hesse was directed by the Italian director Franco Zefirre Zeffrelli) discovered and co-starred with Leonard Whiting in the 1968 version of Romeo and Juliet. The role of Juliet was not only the first star role in her acting career, but also earned her the 1969 David di Donatello Award for Best Actress and the Golden Globe Award for "Most Promising Actress".

The film is recognized as the most classic version, the director boldly enabled the newcomer, meticulous in the details, the set and costumes fully reflect the romantic color of the original, the theme song is widely sung, before this, the play has an American version in 1936 and a British version in 1954, both of which are superior, but have the same fatal wound, that is, the age of the male and female protagonists is older.

Great movie highlights

There was a rumor circulating around the film that Olivia Hessie was Franco Zefirelli's real daughter, which of course wasn't the case, and given Olivia's overweight body, Franco Zefirelli kicked her out of Juliet's shortlist first. The actress he selected cut her hair without permission before filming began, completely destroying her proper role image in Franco Zeferelli's mind, and once again re-casting, he changed his mind to a beautiful teenage girl, and finally made Olivia Hessie!

All the versions of the previous Romeo and Juliet stills were starred by elderly actors, the film is the first major actor whose age is really close to Romeo and Juliet in Shakespeare's original book, and Zeferreri must get special permission to let Olivia Hessie, who is under 20 years old, wear a chest-hugging dress during the filming process.

During the filming, Franco Zefierelli gradually became concerned about Olivia Hessie's figure and ordered her not to eat any pasta on set.

In the scene of the duel, when Maucuccio throws a sword at the feet of Tiburt, another shadow can be seen next to Theo's shadow, which is Franco Zefirelli. According to Mike York's biography, John McEnny fell ill that day and Lawrence Oliver agreed to play the role of unsigned narrator for the film, as he was completely impressed by Zeferrey's work at the British National Theatre, where Oliver had been the director at the time.

During her acting career, Rio Livia Hirschy starred in more than 40 films.
