[edit] Biography
[edit] Early life
Olivier was born in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. She has one sister 12 years older than her.[2] Olivier's parents have Spanish Brazilian heritage.[3] Olivier stands 5 foot and 4 inches.
[edit] Acting career
Olivier began early. At age ten, she played a weeping widow in the school play. Teachers, schoolmates and family moved by the performance, encouraged her to become an actress. Ten plays, Thirteen films and loads of TV appearances later, 'Jackie O' continues to live on the passionate edge of her art. She just wrapped the latest in the Day of the Dead sequels; Day of the Dead 2: Contagium, directed by Jim Dudelson and Ana Clavell. She describes her lead character; Vicky as 'A self-centered, evil, cunning junkie.' A total pro, Olivier had a death scene in Contagium, that went on for hours as the scene following her character's death involved a small room where eight people were fighting around her, falling and stepping on her. She just had to stay still with her eyes closed and remember she was dead. She's a team player. She appreciates this quality in others. Other recent feature film work includes The Dream of Alvareen with director Alexander Leher, Boppin' at the Glue Factory with Jeff Orgill, and Apartment 6, directed by John Pietros. Fearless and a risk taker, Olivier leaves the ego behind to embrace broken and complex characters. She refuses to be stereotyped as a luscious Latin babe. She has the body and the soul.
A "workaholic" who creates her own projects and revels in the backbreaking agony-ecstasy of live theatre. Her Equity-waiver ensemble production of Pilgrims of the Night at the Stella Adler Theatre won Olivier raves from LA Weekly. It was a `physically exhausting' role involving fourteen onstage 20-second wardrobe changes, 120 lighting cues, 70 sound cues and 30 video cues. She helped produced it, painted flats and created her own wardrobe.
[edit] Personal life
Olivier laid the foundation at Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg. She is never sitting still, she's a member of Filmmaker's Alliance and The Creative Actos Alliance. She now lives in Los Angeles, California.[4]
