o, juliet


wow... i tried to post this last night, but there was that mysterious 'internal server error,' so this birthday wish is a little late. april 17 th was the 57th birthday of the timelessly lovely miss olivia hussey. i have never seen a more beautiful or vibrant juliet. this shot is from the standard-setting 1968 version of the shakespeare romantic tragedy. it was directed by franco zeffirelli, and wowed wide audiences then, with its daring teenage nudity. (her gorgeous ample bust makes her one stacked 13 year old. and yes, the original script indicates the play takes place some time before her 14th birthday.) so, happy birthday olivia. thou art the lovliest juliet yet.
