OliviaHussey was just 15 when she won a Golden Globe award for her portrayal of "Juliet" in the 1968 film Romeo and Juliet.
Hussey traced her spiritual leanings to a single evening in England, at age 22.
Hussey also has a cross that she keeps on a prayer table; a glass heart given to her by Howard Wills, a friend and spiritual mentor; and a fresco painting of the Black Madonna of Poland.
OliviaHussey was just 15 when she played the lead role in arguably the greatest love story of all time, Romeo and Julet, the 1968 classic directed by Franco Zefirelli and for which she won a Golden Globe award.
At any rate, Hussey says she's a strong believer in God who once thought of becoming a nunand we have to admit she does a marvelous job playing the lead role in Mother Teresa, bringing the revered woman to vibrant life, showing her spunk and her unconditional love for the poor.
Hussey: I think what impressed me most was that she picked up that first dying human being on the streets [a scene depicted early in the film].
OliviaHussey was born on April 17, 1951 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
At the age of 15, OliviaHussey gave life to Juliet in ROMEO AND JULIET which won her the 1968 Golden Globe and two successive Best Actor Donatello Awards (Italy's Oscar equivalent).
OliviaHussey: Thank you. It was done with a lot of love. It was kept very simple and, hopefully, it gets across the message of compassion and love that was Mother Teresa.
Olivia: We had no time to prepare. Two weeks after I heard of it, I was on the set. They were trying to get the film made in time for her beatification, you see.
Olivia: Oh, lovely! I did a film called “The Jewelers Shop,” written by Karol Wotyla, years ago, before he was Pope John Paul II. So it was a great thing to receive his blessing. My mother was a devout Catholic. I wish she had been here to see it.
