Olivia Hussey passed away peacefully at home at the age of 73, leaving behind a legacy as a celebrated actress known for her role as Juliet in the 1968 film 'Romeo and Juliet.' Her family shared the news on social media, reflecting on her life and contributions to cinema.
Hussey's portrayal of Juliet earned her a Golden Globe for best new actress, but her legacy was also marked by a legal battle regarding the nude scenes filmed during her adolescence, which she alleged were conducted without proper consent.
Leonard Whiting, who played Romeo alongside Hussey, expressed heartfelt tributes, stating, 'Rest now my beautiful Juliet; no injustices can hurt you now. And the world will remember your beauty inside and out forever.'
Born in Argentina and raised in London, Hussey became widely recognized for her performances, including significant roles in 'Jesus of Nazareth' and various horror films, showcasing her versatility as an actress.
