Olivia williams

Olivia Williams was born on July 26, 1968 in Camden Town, London, England. Her home was not, in principle, the ideal stimulus to pursue an acting career, unless the legal profession of her parents is considered in some way as a way of acting, where the stage would be the courts. A very formal girl, this singular dark-haired beauty, with a noble appearance and a magnetic smile, graduated with a degree in English literature from Cambridge, but because she had the acting bug inside her, she enrolled at the prestigious Bristol Old Vic drama school, which that would lead him to later join the Royal Shakespeare Company. In 1995 she would cross the “pond” in the company of Ian McKellento participate in the representation of the Shakespearean “Ricardo III” on the stages of the United States.

1996 marks his first screen appearance. She was in the small, in a television version of “Emma”, the novel by Jane Austen . The following year she was showered with three big-screen projects, though the most potent was Kevin Costner ‘s second film as director, Messenger from the Future . It was a failure for the person in charge of Dances with Wolves , but she did not go unnoticed. The following year we had her working with a wonderful character of a teacher in Rushmore Academy , from the “Martian”, and a year later she was the sad wife of Bruce Willis in the supernatural thriller of the “wizard” M. Night Shyamalan The Sixth Sense. It is true that they were secondary roles, but it was undeniable that Olivia knew how to choose films with a clear point of interest, they were not conventional plots, nor was hers the vulgar role of “girl in the movie”.

However, a string of titles followed where his “clinical eye” of yesteryear revealed something “myopic”. It was the case of Dead Babies (200), where he worked with Paul Bettany , or the “scandalous” The Body (2001), where the resurrection of Christ was questioned, in a somewhat ridiculous way; In this second film his co-star was “the priest” Antonio Banderas . He also had no luck with Company Service (2001), where there was another actor of Hispanic origin, Andy García . Time was running forward, and luckily 2003 brought him a couple of titles worthy of giving them a bite: To kill a king, set in the turbulent times of Cromwell, and a new version of JM Barrie ‘s classic , Peter Pan (2003) , where he was Mrs. Darling, Wendy’s mother. It was also the year she married black actor Rhashan Stone, who has given her two children. Undoubtedly, the adventure of her motherhood contributed to slow down the work in cinema, but in 2005 she could be seen in Tara Road. 2008 would give her what can be described as her only leading role to date, and which was linked to her first work before a camera. Indeed, in Jane Austen she remembers she gave life to the writer herself. She has also returned to play a teacher in An Education (2009) and has joined the television series Dollhouse, a fantasy genre creation by Joss Whedon . Her ability to infuse her characters with an enigmatic point has also been confirmed in The Writer , where she is directed by Roman Polanski , playing the wife of a former British Prime Minister. She also has Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll and Longfellow in her portfolio , titles in which the leading role of an actress who shows that there is life on the screen beyond quarantine grows dramatically.
