Olivia Hussey (born Olivia Osuna; 17 April 1951) is an English film, stage, and television actress.

Her awards include a Golden Globe Award and a David di Donatello Award.

The daughter of Argentine opera singer Andrés Osuna, Hussey was born in Buenos Aires but spent most of her early life in her mother's native England.

She aspired to become an actress at a young age and studied drama for five years at Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London.

Hussey began acting professionally as an adolescent.

Hussey was born Olivia Osuna on 17 April 1951 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the first child of Argentine opera singer Andrés Osuna (stage name Osvaldo Ribó), and Joy (née Hussey), a legal secretary from England.

Her parents were Roman Catholics, and she was raised in that denomination.

Hussey recalled.

"I grew up with a mini-altar at home that she had; a candle was always alight on it. She always had a great love for God, and she instilled that in me."

When Hussey was two years old, her parents separated but never divorced.

Hussey was fascinated by acting from a young age, and as a child, would dress up as a nun.

At age seven, she moved with her mother and younger brother to London.
