    Dang, 73 is still young by today's standard. She's literally the most beautiful Juliet.

      My dad is in his 70s (I was born late) and this is just so upsetting to see. I have Olivia’s book and I’m such an admirer of both her and her daughter India. She was so active online as well, my sister got so excited one day when she replied to her. She was Always posting about animals and she was just so vibrant and was focused on healthy living. She took great care of her health after her scare with breast cancer (60s chain smoking and drinking as a school girl was so normalized then)…I’m so gutted. She really was my muse for every stage of life, she was a timeless beauty and whip smart.

      Olivia Hussey was so perfect for that role as Juliet, yet she was not director Zeffirelli's first choice. As he recounts in his autobiography he wanted another girl with beautiful long hair for the part but when she showed up for rehearsal she had cut her lovely hair for the unisex look at the time. He knew a wig would not work so he settled for second choice Olivia, and, as he realized, it turned out wonderfully. So he points out that directors like him are only instruments of God.

    I saw this movie in 1969 aged 12 years. It had a profound affect on me. I cried for 3 days. I was inconsolable. Must have been hormonal. The beauty of the production, the story and the script was simply overwhelming. I was so impressed by William Shakespeare I was in awe. How could anyone write something so intertwining, intrigueing and beautiful?

    One of those news stories that has a tiny shock factor in that it reminds you how much time has passed and how young you yourself no longer are. Romeo and Juliet is the only film I ever saw her in so she was forever young in my mind - and then she's 73 and gone.
