[edit] No Makeup

This is a well-known fact. Do we really need a citation for this? Take a look at the extras on the Romeo and Juliet DVD and you'll find it. Hell, my mom told me when I was a kid that she was envious as a teenager when she saw Hussey with no makeup in the movie, in magazines, and in TV appearances. Perhaps this is a generational thing? Bottom line, Olivia Hussey did NOT wear screen makeup during her heyday. BadMojoDE 02:01, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stop Drooling

I've never heard in my entire life someone reference Olivia Hussey as a great actress. She's famous for her looks (or, at least was at some point). Things like her "great" performances in certain roles need to be removed.

Also, the mention of her nudity in Romeo and Juliet: In Romeo and Juliet, Hussey showed off her cleavage in the famous balcony scene. She briefly appeared nude, showing her breasts, in another scene.

Completely out of context. Lots of actresses do nude scenes - it's not a particularly notable thing to include in a brief biography. If it is to be mentioned, please at least explain its relevance (her age at the time). For now, though, I'm removing it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.75.234.252 (talk • contribs) 02:50, 14 June, 2007 (UTC)

This jealous rant was completely uncalled for. Hussey was in fact noted by many critics and movie industry personalities to have pulled off one of the best performances ever seen on film, nevermind the most cherished incarnation of Juliet. Any mention of nudity or sexually revealing imagery would have been noteworthy for the time it was released, 1968. Also consider how timeless the character of Juliet is. So it would constitute a noteworthy mention. UDStyle 09:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright violation

I just removed a lengthy section of text, which was taken verbatim from IMDB.[1]--Kubigula (talk) 02:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Husbands

The first reference, filmreference.com, lists an additional husband, Paul Ryan (married in 1978, presumably divorced during the period 1978-80). Anyone know why this bio omits him? Ccerf (talk) 21:03, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
