Olivia Tennison is an actress who grew up in a suburb of Chicago but moved to the East coast to begin her professional acting training. While she began her artistic endeavors as a dancer, Olivia enthusiastically transitioned into the world of acting after an exciting summer of Shakespeare at Interlochen Center for the Arts, where she played Catherine in Henry V. Since her Shakespeare camp days, Olivia has gone on to study Classical Acting at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA), as well as received her BFA in Acting with a concentration in Dance from the Boston University School of Theatre.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
