| Summary: | In 1968, Olivia Hussey became one of the most famous faces in the world, immortalized as the definitive Juliet in Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo & Juliet. Now the iconic girl on the balcony shares the ups and downs of her truly remarkable life and career. In this candid memoir, Olivia Hussey tells her story, from being an "It Girl" in swinging 60s London and her enduring friendship with Romeo and Juliet co-star Leonard Whiting, through three tumultuous marriages, motherhood, stage-four breast cancer, debilitating agoraphobia, bankruptcy and ultimately, a journey of self-discovery in India that led her on a path to fulfillment. |
