She one of my favorite actors
Why would we want to watch that? I don’t understand child abuse as clickbait
NOW NOW NOW , how have you not done Lynn Whitfield?!!!!
Had anyone seen what that woman looked like when she was young?! Geeeeeez !
It’s pretty insane
How woman looked like before all the accessibility to plastic surgery
Please sort out your AUDIO …. Video is too SOFT. I have my volume on high , in the kitchen where I’m washing dishes and I can barely hear you xx
Watch Shields in "Pretty Baby". At 11, she played a "woman of the night" .
They do this to children. Sick.
I'm sorry Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting were exploited. 😔 They really were convincing as Romeo and Juliet. Such talent to be so young. ❤
I agree whole heartedly ❤🧡🤗🙏
She was really good in Jesus of Nazareth too! 🙂
i agree with you 10 000 percent.
Sometimes it’s easier for victims to pretend it wasn’t wrong and ignore it, than admit the truth.
Yes exactly sadly I know this all too well
Right? Because then they have to unpack all their emotions about it, and sometimes it's easier to just not deal with it when you have things to think about like children and a career.
Brooke Shields did that too :(
Ppl need to hold their parents accountable
@@CoCo-yv3hl you are totally right
She was literally my obsession as a homeschooled kid that lived with her grandparents. I love her. Thank you!!❤❤
Omg she’s the most beautiful Juliet. Loved her portrayal.
She was a CHILD! The boy as well! Shame on that industry!
That industry does not care they don't care who they exploit use or abuse to get what they
@@sheluvssmokedupeyes1They really don't. SMH..
No. Marriage age.
16 +.
Huh? It’s everywhere not just one industry or religion or race. Check your ML list in your town
@@Adriana-vp1rm. Did you marry at 16, Adriana ?
I keep looking at her and I see timelessness. She looks like someone born in the 2000's rather than being born back in 51.
True. She seems to have this ethereal beauty 😊
OMG you're right!!
I don’t even know what that means
It’s sad though what they experienced during the filming of Romeo and Juliet. I can sense the mental frustration. I am glad Hussey and Whiting are still close friends, even celebrating holidays with their families. I love a lifelong friendship.
I remember Olivia Hussey from "Romeo & Juliet." Didn't know she was that young. Always wondered why she didn't become a major star. That said, I think it's deplorable to exploit young talent in "romantic scenes." I don't think she ever recovered from the trauma which is why she's filing her lawsuit now. It's not a money grab. She probably wanted to do this long before now but was too scared about professional backlash and harassment. Am glad she's speaking out now. 🖤🖤
I had no idea she was 15 when she did Romeo and Juliet. Stuff like this happens in all walks of life. We need to do better for our children.
I remember seeing her being interviewed in France at about 15 or 16 smoking a cigarette and drinking red wine and this I was all on film like it was completely normal.
That WAS normal then 😂

@@Chillikilli Bro the video they're talking about was in the 60's
Thank you, Olivia, for speaking out.
It's seeming these types of workplace abuses and exploitations of children are much more common than previously thought. As far as the timing of her coming out with the truth, it takes how ever long it takes a victim to decide enough is enough and find their voice. I'm so glad she and her coworker are doing so.
🖤🖤🖤
I think it’s not abnormal for someone who was essentially groomed and pressured into something to realize how bad it was later in life. It’s true that until his death she may have felt a sense of loyalty to him possibly out of fear as well since he did get her so much work. Look at Brooke. Now she’s singing a slightly different tune due to her having children and realizing how young she actually was when she was put into doing those scenes and roles.
I remember watching Romeo and Juliet in school, mostly boys love that part when she gets out of bed. People forget that in Hollywood back in the day, it wasn't easy to come out that is happening behind the scenes. People will brush it off, think you are crazy, or blacklist you. When Sherry Temple was a child star, in movies, they made her do questionable things . I feel that most females will get brush off or not take their claims seriously. That is why people today are willing come out and tell their side of the story and the audiences are willing listen.
You summed it up well.
Karine spot on. They were children! Young people being manipulated by powerful director/industry. Sad.
Thank you Karine for being consistent with the videos! We love supporting you. I love learning in general and you have definitely contributed to my curious nature. Please remember to take time to rest as well. 💗
Thank you so much! I take self care breaks to reset, especially after so many heavy topics ♥️♥️
Olivia Hussey! I remember watching an interview with her co-star and they were smoking cigarettes and I was shocked because they were so young lol but back then was different I guess.
I know exactly the interview too. I was shocked but it was legal back then. Crazy
I cant believe how pretty she is, she grew up fast for sure, too fast.
I first came across her work in the movie psycho. She is such a stunning natural beauty that she was the perfect choice for Juliet. The Hollywood industry is so corrupt that I totally believe what she said happened to to be true.
one of the prettiest girls I have ever seen, stunning.
Agree. She has such a soft beautiful look to her face.
@@finestgrowth Yeh, you can just look at her face hours ! Its mesmerizing
She’s perfect
In Psycho? You mean, the Hitchcock movie? Where was she in that movie?????
I remember I first saw her play "mary" in Jesus of Nazareth and thought she was the perfect character to play bc of her natural beauty and I thought she was a fantastic actress.
I forgot she played the Virgin Mary I never saw Jesus of Nazareth but I do remember her from Romeo and Juliet out of every Romeo and Juliet this one the one with Claire Danes and Leonardo dicaprio and the last one they recently did in 2015 are my favorite Romeo and Juliet's
I pretty much grew up with her because I saw her in so many magazines as a teenager and I tried to follow her career whenever I could. Didn't know that she suffered from agoraphobia until much later; you can see it at times in her performances!😔
And whats happening against the parents who allowed her to participate in this film?
My mother would have fought someone if they even suggested such a thing even now as an adult when I was a kid someone would have been killed. Some people don't deserve kids 😢
Probably dead.
@@kookietherapy9398 LONG dead…
I am wondering how their parents felt at the time or were they even aware of the actual nude scene? Not just the young girl but also the young boy. They were only 15 & 16 years old. The parents should have had some say.
It takes years to get strong enough to face something like this.
God bless Olivia.
Yes exactly I hate it when people judge a victim
Whiting in that interview looks like Zac Efron. So unfortunate what happens to these child stars when they aren't protected, respected, and properly/appropriately loved
Yea he does.
I actually thought he was when I watched the movie in high school😂
Completely exploited and brainwashed to think it was in the name of their “art.”
I like that you give the whole context of why actors and actresses do not speak out. All the puzzles make a lot of sense.
I believe her. They should’ve never had her do anything that is inappropriate for a child.
Thanks for this one. I was sixteen and working at the local theater. I bet I watched it a dozen times. I was the same age, I cannot begin to imagine her managing that role so well.
It so interesting to see who you are going to cover...I especially love that you use visuals and don't feel the need to put yourself in the video. Thanks you for the respectful and tasteful entertainment. ❤
So sad that actors have to go through this type of abuse! 😢
Monarch programming.
Thank goodness, more are speaking out now even young actors. It's not just Hollywood, also the modeling industry etc
It also happens regularly in the general public every day. Victims need to be supported & taught not to fear backslash.
Holy crap they played this Romeo & Juliet movie in freshman year of school for all the students. The teachers warned everyone of the nude scene.
No teacher/staff stepped in & said “no, students DO NOT need to watch this version of the movie” wtf .
I’m glad she is suing them, I’m so sorry to Olivia
I was a freshman in HS in 2010 & they showed this to us with the nude seen I remember the teacher said it was quick and if we didn’t want to see it close your eyes I just remembered this!
@@evelynneleven I wish our teachers would’ve been a lot more free thinking about these things :/ it wasn’t okay.
I saw it in class in middle school but our teacher forgot about the nude scene. She showed us a lot of film from the 60s that just didn't offend boomer's lax morals, like Jimmy Hendrix humping a speaker.
@@kalitzina that is so horrible! It is sad that this was so acceptable & I’m glad that Olivia Hussey is standing up for herself
Her parents shouldn’t have allowed it
Ever since I saw Olivia Hussey in Romeo and Juliet, she has been my standard of beauty- - with almost no makeup, those almond eyes and oval face. So talented and beautiful. I wanted so to look like her
Her beauty is completely natural. She is blessed!
Olivia's chin is sharp and pointy whereas an oval face has a more rounded softer chin. I think her face shape is inverted triangle.
@@Ri57490 Yes, I believe you're right
Wow...That's sad that they had that experience while filming that movie.. It was my most favorite Romeo and Juliet version ever. Now, I'm not sure if I can ever watch it again, without thinking how exploited these two children were treated. I hope they get some compensation after 50 years, because it would be the right thing to do. But, in reality, I don't expect the studio to pay them a dime. Unfortunately.
Karine... do Kate Winslet next!! Love your videos.
Thank you Karine for your respectful approach to the stories you tell. I truly appreciate your work. Let’s also remember that Olivia was dealing with crippling anxiety which developed roots very early in her life. Sometimes you have to prioritize your mental health and well-being before battling out issues. Much love ❤
They were children. I watched that interview a while ago. They are obviously uncomfortable and awkward. Almost like they were told what to say, like it was scripted, but they don't believe what they are saying. It's crazy.
Definitely my favorite version of Romeo and Juliet. She had such an angelic, doll like face. So beautiful. There really should be a law against nudity for minor actors. There was no reason to actually show bare skin. Suggesting of it while them laying in bed was enough
Her daughter has the same look. Her name is India Ensley. She was in Secret Life of the American Teenager.
You shouldn't promote a movie as being your 'favourite' when there is such a disgusting scene in it where children are exploited
@@Ri57490 I am quite capable of liking a project and not agreeing with it's content entirely. Do not tell me how to think and feel
I didn't like that they showed this film in my high school. It should be considered child porn, since she shot the topless scene at 16.
That is what a lot of people don't understand, espacially young people, fame is a life long sentence
Good for them, no one needs to see naked children simulating sexual acts.
Good job. I think climate of this subject now, and it's even "trendy" to address this now has a lot to do with it. I also think Zefferelli was a very powerful person, and I'm sure they are still under threat after exposing this now. Zefferelli admitted to being sexually abused by a priest, but claimed, "...I suffered not harm", from the experience.
Go figure.
I have read her autobiography and she stated that she and leonard whiting were payed less and had to work for long hours. While filming there was an issue with the audio so they had to film the audio separately in a studio. How exhausting! She also named all the men who tried to take advantage of her including a famous indian celebrity.I am indian so i was shocked to find out about it because i had always respected that indian actor up until then.
Who was it ?
Its so gross that entertainment media is always super focused on actors bodies not so much their performace.
I totally understand where she’s coming from. But, honestly….this is like 50 years after the fact. I get it. Instead of filing a lawsuit she should NOW be a leader in advocacy against abuse of children in film.
I loved this movie so much when it first came out.
I was so inspired that I learned the entire movie version by heart.
Wow 👍
That is my favorite Romero and Juliet movie.
As to the publicity surrounding the “porn”. Well those of us regular folks who were raped and abused cannot file suits against those who inflicted the pain. It was a different time back then. I am 70 and still have flashbacks from attacks starting when I was 10. It’s okay to file suit for awareness, but don’t line your pockets, be activists and support sexual violence organizations and bring awareness to this problem that has been around since beginning of time.
Well said. It does not only happen to stars and actors. It happens to all and sundry. It happens all over the world every day and it happens In Our own homes where we should feel the most safe. Making money out of it is to me disgusting. Calling out the peeps is important however, for my generation they mostly dead, so not much we can do about it. Besides we were brought up with what happens I. Your house stays in your house. And it mostly did. Now you have a generation of victims and poor me that are making all those fancy Dr's very rich indeed. Different strokes for different folks, as for me I would never cry in the public papers for all to see. 🐝
She is the only Juliet that comes to mind when I hear of Romeo and Juliet. A classic beauty!
My thoughts exactly they look uncomfortable
God she was so gorgeous
breath taking
I agree 100% with your estimation of the whole situation…. They had NO voice back then, especially if you were a young woman. And sometimes it takes looking back on life to realize how a situation affected you for your entire life. They need justice!
Stunning natural beauty, and so talented. She deserves justice.
Omg ! I found her so enchanting and stunning when I watched her in Romeo and Juliet in middle school. Also i dont know if anyone remembers this show lmao , but her daughter played a character named "Ashley" on the show "The Secret Life of An American Teenager" that used to play on ABC family turned freeform during the late 2000s/early 2010s and she is a SPITTING image of her mother and soooo beautiful too ! . God that show was so cringe but I was sat every week lmao
I had no clue that’s her mom 😱
India Eisley
Even during that time period why they thought it was ok for kids to have nude scene. That’s sick
I love her in Black Christmas and IT. I remember in HS, we watched Romeo and Juliet, this version and the Leo DiCaprio version. I feel so badly for her, I never knew she was abused. She's a beautiful and gentle soul.🖤
I read the studios made her eat salads during R&J, no spaghetti. I read her 2018 memoir Girl On The Balcony. It was really good. They should have sued decades ago, or their parents should have, if it bothered them that much. I was only 1 when the film came out. But I have seen it numerous times.
They should've read their contract first. If it required a slim actress then that is what she ought to have been. That was her job to stay slim. Those costumes must have cost a fortune. 🐝
Some people may or may not remember, for us horror fans,she played on the original IT tv movie..she played Bill's( Richard Thomas) wife
Don't forget Slasher movie Black Christmas from 1974.
Can you do Aisha Tyler? I love her. She’s such an underrated actress.
I love Olivia Hussey and her adorable accent ❤😂
I remember watching this as a child in school and feeling completely uncomfortable.
Me too. It was wierd that the teacher was showing us a sex scene. But it was a sex scene of characters and actors our age. I went to Catholic school so it was just another level of wierd.
@@sjbloopI went to a Catholic all girls school and they showed it. I felt uncomfortable when they showed the scene of her with her chest exposed. It also made me feel bad because I was a very flat chested girl and it made me jealous. 😅
I think they should have shown another version of the play with no nudity. Even the 1996 version with Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio is more appropriate because they don’t show any nudity. Claire’s chest was not exposed. She is small chested so it was easy for the camera to shoot around her chest to not show anything.
Wow. I haven’t heard anyone speak Olivia Hussey’s name in decades. The first movie I saw her in was Romeo and Juliette- we had it on vhs when I was a kid. I wish her strength and victory over the sicko freaks at Paramount. There’s no reason that minors should EVER be nude on film.
There are literally infinite ways that they could have shot that scene without exploiting those kids. “Tastefully shot” or not- nude minors simulating sex on camera is still kiddy pR0n.
I despise “Hollywood”.
Children Can’t Give Consent
Olivia is so pretty! 🩵
There was a miniseries she acted in called the Last days of Pompeii (1984). My brother and I still watch it annually since we were very young, and she was always my favorite character. I watched Romeo and Juliet since she was in it, and have always wondered about who she was, and admired her for her talent and beauty. Thank you for doing a video on her Karine! On my own I couldn't find much on her.
I love her portrayal as The Virgin Mary in the movie Jesus of Nazareth ❤
Me too
Neither Olivia or Leonard looked very emphatic when asked if they thought it was better to do it in the nude and that it helped the movie. They definitely were taken advantage of with their young age and inexperience. Probably did not want to voice their opinions or else they lose their career. I wonder if this is why Leonard went off to do theatre instead of film more movies.
11:54 They're both so pretty. But they're definitely uncomfortable. Idk why the scene was necessary. I watched the movie in 8th grade and we skipped thru that part in class.
Omg I love her in Black Christmas, you didn’t mention or show any clips of her in that film. It was her best performance.
Such a great slasher movie.
She was wonderful in R & J. Expressive Beautiful Actress. I always felt her talent as an actress wasn't used enough. Her daughter India Eisley was an actress as well in a well known TV teen show, forgot the name.
Her daughter starred in the ABC Family Show The Secret Life of the American Teenager and she definitely has her mother's eyes
@@aprilp.8587 That it Thanks!
Fyi: Hussey also played Norman Bates's mother in one of the "Psycho" sequels from the early 90s 👀
YOU DID MY REQUEST ON OLIVIA THANK U
Great video as always! By the way her second husband Akira Fuse’s surname is pronounced like ‘who say’ :)
I loved her in Romeo and Juliet and also when she played Mary. The industry is notorious for exploitation of very young girls and boys in the name of art/perversion.
She was only 15 and he was 17. I blame the parents ultimately for not protecting them.
Unfortunately she lost the court case and the judge dismissed it. By playing Romeo and Juliet at such a young age ended up being much much more than what she could handle mentally and emotionally.
Keep Your Kids Away from the industry that hurts them!
Thank you for this one Karine! We love you!
I know that version of Romeo and Juliet but my school showed us the Leonardo DiCaprio version in 10th grade. I’m glad my school knew better than to further exploit a child just to show a movie.
She’s iconic
One of the best compliments I ever got was when people said I looked like her. She was so beautiful.
Out of all the beautiful women you've done here... Olivia Hussy is the most beautiful out of them all!
I remember the first time I saw her on Romeo and Juliet, I was literally ✨stunned✨ at how beautiful she was!
She was fifteen he was sixteen . He seemed very uncomfortable and she looks very anxious .Zefferelli was very famous and powerful he could effectively destroy their careers. they were teenagers what are people talking about this was criminal behaviour from the adults I don't know how zefferelli got way with it.
well said! Really saying it for what it is. Intelligent commentary
I am mesmerized by her beauty. The best Romeo and Juliet for me
I am close to Olivia Hussey's age and I must have seen Zefferelli's "Romeo and Juliet" at least 25 times. I appreciated Hussey and Whiting's beauty and talent. As a teen aspiring actress I admit I was jealous of Hussey. I dreamt of playing the part of Juliet and I wouldn''t have had any problem with the delicate and tasteful nudity in the film. The "nude" scene takes place immediately after their wedding night. Whiting had a beautiful body and Hussey's "nude scene" was so fast I barely noticed it. These two kids are about to be separated forever while alive and they will die together within a few days. Bravo to Genius Zefferelli and his beautiful film. There have since been two versions of Romeo and Juliet rekeased since Zefferelli's, the 1997 one set in "Verona" Florida with Claire Danes and Leo DiCaprio . Romeo belongs to a gang resembling either the Jets or the Sharks and Juliet's suicide is by a bullet to her temple. The 2010 film starred Haile Steinfeld and a handsome young man whose credits were primarily modeling whose name I forget. It reeked of fear of offending anyone and consequently was difficult to watch. Also the Bard's beautiful language was rewritten numerous times. To me that is sacreligious. As an aside I believe Whiting was 517 and Hussey 16 when the wedding night scene was shot on a closed set. 16 is the age of consent in Italy where the film was shot.
They were 15 enough said
I hope she succeeds in the case. ❤
It's sad that the director took advantage of 2 very young teenagers by tricking them into taking their clothes off and have the whole world 🌎 see both of them without clothes on in the movie resulting in anxiety disorders in their future work and relationship difficulties all the rest of their lives
Leonard has a nice musical voice as well.
I once read that Olivia was put on diets by Zeffirelli during the filming of R and J. Not only that, but the boy who played Benvolio complained that Zeffirelli himself, (an admitted homosexual) made unwanted advances on him. They were all very young, just teens. Hollyweird. Still it is a beautiful movie.
She is so lovely! I wondered, however, why the R & J scene was allowed when I saw it in high school.
Before I make my comment I'll note that I have a master's in forensic psychology. That clip looks like they were coached. It actually was textbook. It looked exactly how child coaching is described: avoiding eye contact by looking down or away, fidgeting and rocking and shaking, hesitation before answering. It's all there. A lot of people don't consider teens children but they are and can be coached and influenced just as easily as a younger child.
My high school teacher made us watch this in English and told us to pay attention to the naked scene of them 😮
Karine, all of you videos are so well done. I always learn something new even if I know the main subject. I recall Olivia Hussey being considered “difficult” after this movie came out. My how the time have changed.
I have a problem though, sometimes your background music gets a little intrusive. You have such a lovely voice, and so relaxing, sometimes the music lessens that for me. Thank you for all you do.
🖤just love this actor. I hope they both prevail.
I saw this in high school...Olivia Hussey was astounding in Romeo and Juliet...imagine being in Shakespeare and portraying a flawless Juliette at 14 yrs old!!! I'm sad she had such turbulent career. The nude scene in Zefferellis R and J was not necessary and Zefferelli was criminal by not being honest with the actors and not letting them have a choice. Hussey was a minor...no amount of time can take that away!! I am glad she is choosing to stand up and talk about her experience because it might help others because its still happening.
I hope they win their law suit! It's so obvious what they've been through
She's gorgeous I believe her these directors lie so much
Why the nude scene was in the movie is anyone’s guess, I think they felt it was edgy and novel. Honestly people shouldn’t be allowed to act under the age of 21 at the minimum, 30 if it was up to me. She’s a woman and will parrot whatever is trending, so I’m not surprised by any of this
Romeo and Julie are supposed to be children. That's the whole point of this particular Shakespeare tragedy. 🙄
That obviously wouldn’t work as there is a place for anyone in acting. We need to go after those who exploit children in the media.
Kids & s3x scenes shouldn’t even be a thing. However alot of ppl like Kimora though young are coached to be ok with things while the money is good then come back & claim victimhood. She should sue her parents not the network
I wanted her hair so bad when I was a kid. When I bought my 30inch wig I immediatly think about it😂❤
she is very pretty and got cute eyes and beautiful hair.
🖤victims defend their attackers bc they dont want to believe they are victims. it is known. and what a surprise a man wrote about how he thought she was lying 🙄🙄🙄
I love both of them very much. I will pray for them in hopes that they win their case. I will also buy her cnn memoirs book
I definitely understand what you are saying about them quitting Hollywood and getting a regular job. Look what happened to Arnold or Gary Coleman....he got a job as a security guard and was harassed everyday
Oh please. They get older actors to play teens and do EXPLICIT sex scenes even though they’re playing teenagers on screen. Like euphoria. It’s fkng weird and creepy. Sex can always be implied but Hollywood is conditioning people
To see soft core prn with “teenagers”Beyond creepy
Thanks for making this. I have always liked her movies and watch her daughter's films as well. It's so interesting to learn what's below the surface.
She was such a natural beauty 😍
