Olivia was infamously topless in Romeo and Juliet (1968) and naked in other films.
Her daughter India Eisley was naked in Look Away (2018)
Who looked hotter?
Be honest.
Between the two films that you listen, I'm going to go for India Eisley because she actually was the age of consent.
shareSo was Olivia.
Age is 16 in UK.
She tried to sue the director.
shareI know.
55 years later.
What does that have to do with age of consent?
She was 15 when she shot the film. She was also told that she didn't have to do it and the director forced her.
Whiting was then aged 16 and is now 72, while Hussey was 15 when the film was shot and is now 71.
The pair are suing Paramount for sexual abuse, sexual harassment and fraud.
The lawsuit accuses the Hollywood studio of sexually exploiting the two young actors and distributing nude images of adolescent children.
She was cast at 15.
But she shot the nude scene after she turned 16 during filming (and the film came out when she was 17):
“At age 16, Hussey stripped down for a love scene depicting her wedding night alongside her co-star Leonard Whiting [Romeo]…”

And yes she was pressured into it which has nothing to do with her being the age of consent when she showed her boobs for about three seconds (thank goodness for freeze framing).
Sounds like she shot the nude scene when she was 15 as finished filming by the time she was 16.
shareAccording the wikipedia of the film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_and_Juliet_(1968_film)
When they were cast Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey were 16 and 15 years old respectively.
After cast readings in late May, rehearsals and filming began at the end of June 1967 in Tuscania, Italy, then moved to Pienza, Gubbio, and Artena, before completing at Cinecittà movie studios in Rome.[8][9] The famous Romeo and Juliet balcony scene was filmed in Artena in September 1967.
Olivia Hussey is attractive, but at 17 and full figured, she cannot pass as the 13 year old Juliet Capulet in Shakespeare's play.
shareBut it would be a lot more controversial to do nude scenes of 13 year olds.
shareYes it would. I think people would also be shocked to see a 13yo girl eloping to marry an older teen. I think most people are not aware that Juliet was so young.
shareHer age is mentioned in the play.The nurse even mentioned girls younger then her were moms already. I guess some girls back then even married at 12!
