Best Answer

Olivia Hussey, born April 17, 1951 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She played Norma Bates in Psycho IV: the Beginning (1990). She played Juliet in Romeo and Juliet (1968). Ironically, she was not allowed to go to the premiere of the film as it contained a nude scene and she was not yet eighteen years old. The nudity? It was her!

She has also been played on film by Norma Shearer, Susan Shentall, Ann Hasson, Rebecca Saire, Megan Porter Follows, Geraldine Somerville and about 50 more actresses and ballet dancers according to the IMdb.

What actressess have played Juliet in Romeo and Juliet?

Many many actresses have played the role of Juliet since it was first played by women in the 1660s. Some famous ones were Katharine Cornell, Judi Dench, Peggy Ashcroft, Mary Saunderson (probably the first woman to play Juliet in 1662), Susan Cushman, and Ellen Terry. The first Romeo and Juliet movie was made in 1900 but the first woman to star as Juliet was Florence Lawrence (the first movie star ever) in 1908. Since then, notable cinematic Juliets include Norma Shearer (1936), Susan Shentall (1954), Olivia Hussey (1968) and Claire Danes (1996). Juliet has been performed on television by Rebecca Saire (1978), Ann Hasson (1976), Geraldine Somerville (1994) and Megan Follows (1993)


Who were the first people to play Romeo and Juliet?

The first two people to play Romeo and Juliet were Richard Burbage and some teenaged boy whose name we don't know for sure but might have been Robert Goffe. Burbage played Romeo and the boy played Juliet. This took place about 1595. The first woman Juliet was Mary Saunderson in 1662, playing opposite Henry Harris. The first woman to play Romeo was Charlotte Cushman, an American, in 1845, playing opposite her sister Susan. Romeo and Juliet first appeared on film in 1908, in three different films: one with Mario and Maria Casserini made in Italy, one with Saul Panzer and Florence Laurence (the first film star) made in the USA, and one with Geoffrey Tearle and Mary Malone made in Britain. The first talking film of the play was made in 1936 with Norma Shearer and Leslie Howard. IMdb lists thirty-nine films with the characters of Romeo and Juliet before Zeffirelli's 1968 film, so that film was not even close to being close to the "first" Romeo and Juliet in any possible sense.
