Interview with Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey of Romeo and Juliet (1968)

[@ohsnapitsjen6253]

Their friendship is so beautiful and I love how they hold hands

[@corky-lane4671]

She’s very protective of him as if he had a slight stroke...his left arm is not the same and his gait is off? Still, they are quite the adorable pair! class Acts

[@stardustgirl2904]

I love all of my friends very much, like family! I have always been incredibly loving 💜towards others! But for some reason, hate people touching my hands! While writing this l realize why? 💜👱‍♀️ I guess it's because hands, should be kept private! I don't like shaking hands with anyone! I met my husband in a doorway at church, and we shook hands! And we have never been apart since then! 4 month's after shaking hands with him he perposed and 3 months after that we were married, and that was 28 years ago! Hands are for the one you love!💜👱‍♀️💜❤💜❤💜💜❤💜❤

I'm currently reading Olivia's autobio The Girl On The Balcony, it just came out. I really like it. In the book, she did state that she and her co-star did briefly date in the 60's but often fought a lot. She feels they were only meant to be good lifelong buddies.

[@cocoaorange1]

As an 80's teen, now that song relates to my generation.

[@pandalouise]

身体语言表示他们彼此依然相爱，我想之所以《罗密欧与朱丽叶》这部电影如此经典，那是因为这是由真正沉浸在爱意中的两个年轻人演绎，他们是电影史上最棒的罗密欧与朱丽叶，也是更接近莎士比亚原著里人物形象的。同样，Leonard跟Olivia更是一对金童玉女，太棒了！❤

the movie came out just 3 years after my mom was born. I first saw the movie when I was in high school, abour 15 years ago, and then watched it again just recently. I've seen all the other versions, and their version is still the best. Very amazing acting and delivery of lines considering their young age at the time. it's just a bonus that they both were also so good-looking.

[@mila_diy]

I wasn't even born yet when this movie was released, but many years later I saw a rerun of it on tv and it changed my life in so many ways. I hope they will make more movies even at this age because they still look perfect together

All the girls loved Leonard Whiting back then. My friends and bought the theme song, "A Time For Us" by Henry Mancini, and would play it continuously on the old 45 record player, while replaying in our heads, all the scenes in the movie. To this day, on the rare occasions that I hear this song, it takes me right back to that time and those pre-adolescent "feels".

Well.... I had a crush on Olivia before I even knew I was lesbian haha :D I watched the movie for the first time in 2012 when I was 13 and instantly had my eye on Olivia. I couldn't care less for Leonard Whiting but then again, I never really thought guys were attractive.

[@maureentrant5588]

I had the privilege to see this movie ( the first 10 times) when it was first released in my area in the spring of 1969. I was at the tender age of 13! Went with a bunch of gfs, and we fairly swooned when Leonard Whiting first appeared. I still believe he was the most handsome young man to appear in the movies( especially his bare butt). We also couldn’t believe how young and gorgeous Olivia Hussey was. They were perfectly matched to play the BEST version of Romeo and Juliet. I have literally viewed this movie upwards of 50 times over the past 52 years.It still makes me cry hysterically ( as we all did in 1969). I have recently been watching it on Amazon Prime Video and am amazed at its timelessness and beauty. I’m obsessed all over again.I even know most of the lines by heart. God bless this beautiful pair of ‘ star-crossed’ lovers for giving me an appreciation for Shakespeare at a young age, and for giving me endless years of belief in undying love. Thanks Leonard and Olivia.... you are the best💚🌹

Olivia Hussey (née Osuna) is the daughter of an Argentine opera singer Andrés Osuna , and his English wife Joy Hussey (Olivia took her mother's maiden name for her stage name). I still love her husky voice and stunning good looks.

[@randigerber1926]

Everyone always talks about her physical beauty, but I have always been enchanted by her husky voice, as well. Her voice was sweet, but a bit raspy, in R and J. When she played Juliet and laughed, I could tell she had a joy and fire under the sedate innocence. I was 10 years old when I first saw the film in summer 1969. I remember the teenage girls standing in line with boxes of tissues, telling us they were going to see the film for the third time. I remember being terrified by the fight scenes ... I was quite sensitive in those days. I was thrilled to get a DVD several years ago, and made my teenage children sit through it. They were mesmerized as well. Leonard’s still a great-looking man, and seems to be under Olivia’s spell. Just lovely.

My sister dragged me to the movie when I was 14, so he was 17, she was 15, both older than me. We each had scarves and SOBBED into the scarves to the max. What a powerful, great movie.

[@jennifersman7990]

I. M. In the 70’s, I remember seeing him in a made for tv film where he played Dr. Frankenstein. Very chilling film I wish would be on dvd

[@thomasromano9321]

Hate to burst your bubble, but it didn't quite happen the way you think. Actually Olivia didn't have a crush on Leonard. He seemed very emotionally attached to her, but she was infatuated with someone else.... who turned out to be Franco Zeffirelli himself, who in a later interview admitted he is gay. Olivia admitted her crush on Zeffirelli years later in a San Francisco interview in front of a live audience. We'd all like to think they were really in love in real life, but such is often not the case. It seemed to be true from Leonard to Olivia, but it was NOT returned by Olivia. They simply looked that way when they were posing for publicity pictures, and they probably were good friends in real life, but that's as far as it went. Similarly, in my mother's World War ll generation, America's sweethearts were Jeannette McDonald and Nelson Eddy. Everyone at that time thought they would make the perfect romantic couple, but they each married other spouses. In real life, Olivia Hussey was married three times, and had a child with each husband. Welcome to the the world of reality.

[@sadiejosiemom]

Seeing them as such intimate friends after so many decades makes me wonder why they never married each other. Maybe they were afraid marriage would spoil the friendship. I was the same age as Olivia when the movie was made. When I married in 1972, my dress was influenced by the film and was made of heavy white satin with an empire waist, bishop sleeves and a very long and heavy train. My mom made my veil which was a white satin Juliet cap with embroidered laces appliqued and a long veil of tule attached.

This stands as a proof that we really do not own anything in this life. After 56 years, we can see two other different persons both physically and morally who have nothing to do with Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey we knew in 1968. Only the souls are the same in the same bodies. Apart from that, it is another time, another world, other persons, other faces totally unrecognizable, had it not been for the recordings. How hard life is, incredible but true! Everything fades, everything passes, and this is tangible proof that we do not belong to this life but to the other, the everlasting one! Rest in peace Olivia!
