Olivia played Ellen Page's best friend in last years Delta Award winning best picture "Juno", a high school cheerleader who has a thing for middle aged guys. This of course caught the attention of the middle age Delta judges and no doubt help propel her to # 12 on our list. Liv, as she's known to her friends, isn't out to be a sex symbol. She'd rather be known as an actress. That doesn't mean that she's without her attractive physical qualities. Her slim and shapely 5'4" body is highlighted by a bright wide smile, long hair and expressive eyes. Between her wholesome looks and her strong-willed attitude, Olivia Thirlby might be described as the girl next door crossed with the acting class overachiever. Although she isn't in a rush for attention, Olivia Thirlby is still getting noticed for her acting and her attractiveness by the media circuit. GQ featured Olivia Thirlby prominently in a February 2008 issue, and she has also been profiled in CosmoGirl and Glamour. In her hometown of New York, The Daily News called her "the next hot thing” in a January '08 article. Maybe all the attention had something to do with Olivia Thirlby's movie Jack and Diane, slated for release in 2010, about a lesbian relationship involving werewolves. Olivia Thirlby was born in New York, New York on October 6, 1986. Growing up, she earned her education from Friends Seminary, a Manhattan private school, but developed a strong interest in Shakespeare by performing at the American Globe Theatre. With the combination of the American Globe and school theater productions, Olivia Thirlby was committed to a career in acting. As a sign of her commitment, she took additional courses from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and even enrolled at the British Academy of Stage and Screen Combat for a class specializing in combat. All the training paid off in 2003, when she met with French director Luc Besson and actor Vincent Perez. The meeting was for a possible role in Perez's directorial effort, The Secret, alongside David Duchovny. Olivia Thirlby impressed them both and she won the part of a young woman who is consumed by the spirit of her mother. Awards 2008 Delta 99 Most Desirable Women #12 Debut on our list |
