@ Littlelee - I think that her ‘hungover’ look might be down to her heavy eye make-up!
Sorry - I should have directed that comment at Realist.

I thought I recognised Olivia from The Vatican Tapes!
At around 4.30, I got out of bed as I couldn’t sleep because of my rib injury so I went into the lounge and turned on the TV. There was a vivid and chaotic ghost film on from the Paranormal Activity series and this one looked better than the ones I’d seen before from the PA films. Olivia was excellent in The Vatican Tapes so I stayed with the film for its final half hour. I could see a collaboration of bits from Poltergeist, The Exorcist and The Omen, and it’s certainly worth checking out the next time it’s on, which was on Film Four. It’s always scary when the plot puts a child in peril and in this case, it’s a little girl, whose birthday had three sixes in the date. It had beautiful Christmas decor in it, making it all the more watchable, but as I hadn’t followed the film, I only had a vague idea of what was going on. Yes, I’m going to watch this again! I really like Olivia, and she is well chosen for parts like this because she does have a childlike, innocent look. 👼
I can’t see Olivia measuring more than Rob’s 5ft3. I CAN see myself rewatching this movie though! 💐

5'3 and 120 pounds. She looks hungover or high in this picture no lie.

Blimey, that was a terrifying watch!
I've just seen 'The Vatican Tapes' through to an end this time. Olivia plays a vulnerable young girl who is possessed. It's a film rather opposite to the Patricia Arquette/Gabriel Byrne film 'Stigmata', with overtones of 'Angel Heart' thrown in, what with the use of eggs as a symbolisation of rebirth, not to mention 'The Omen' films in that there are Revelations-based.
As in 'Stigmata', you see 'tonight's girl' suffering from the stigmata, but both endings of the aforementioned film are positive, the young girl (Patricia) being converted into a believer, whereas she wasn't before. The original ending shows Patricia actually passing on through loss of blood, but the message is clear in that she lives on. This ending was thought too sad for cinematic release, so they made an alternative ending, and that's the one that was shown in the theatres and on TV. The movie was based on a scripture written by Christ himself, and the storyline is turned into a horror thriller because it shows a corrupt side to the Church, who are willing to do away with the girl because she is, unbeknownst to herself, continuing the work of a devout priest, who was translating Christ's message to us before he died, which as good as proves that you don't need to go to a church or temple to be heard by the Lord because he is omnipresent.
I couldn't help but compare the two films, even though they are poles apart in meaning, and I know which one I prefer, and it certainly isn't the one I saw tonight. Patricia and Olivia have a similarly innocent, angelic look; I was hoping I'd be able to find out Olivia's height because I saw her as 'on the tall end of petite', whereas Patricia is tiny. (I used to think she was below 5ft!) In the bulk of 'The Vatican Tapes', Olivia is in hospital, and wears no shoes, and looks very small compared to the menfolk. Patricia, on the other hand, wears the most enormous, height-enhancing wedge-heeled shoes as soon as she springs out of bed, and I remember one scene in which she wears these shoes and walks down a busy street, but rarely even comes up to other people's shoulders!
I was wondering tonight if Olivia was chosen for her physical resemblance to Patricia. They both speak in Aramaic - spasmodically - the ancient language that was around at the time of Christ and for around six centuries before him. They are small, fair-haired and fragile in the looks department and now, thanks to the fact that Olivia DOES have a page, I've been able to find out how much the height difference actually is: one-and-a-half inches!
Olivia gets 5ft3. 😁💐

Rob would you guess her ghost dimensions do star brittany shaw be around 5ft 3 too judging from the film and photos together?
