Early Life
Hussey was born Olivia Osuna in Buenos Aires, Argentina to Joy Alma (née Hussey), a British legal secretary and Andrés Osuna (aka Osvaldo Ribó), an Argentine tango singer, who divorced when Olivia was two.
She was brought up as a Catholic, and when she was seven years old, Hussey and her younger brother went with their mother to live in London, where she attended the Italia Conti Academy drama school for five years. Hussey later said her biggest fear in Romeo and Juliet (1968) was appearing nude.

“I wish to suggest that a man may be very industrious, and yet not spend his time well. There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living.”
