Dayum that's her????!!!!! Wow she looks great!!! Lot of people didn't know she was British. She played the hell out of that role. Loved Karen

[@dmoney668]

So fine and talented. Doing an American accent and a hippie so effectively with her not being from here is amazing

[@joseaguila1390]

Watch Bolero 1984. She was only 14. Apparently it was legal

[@dirtyworks8084]

Aged like a fine wine, WOW!

[@rilenixx]

I had such a crush on this woman in the late 80s and early 90s. She is seven years older than I am. She still looks amazing! Oh in another life........

[@kevinmkraft]

Me too!

[@herbsuperb6034]

Yep. She was right up there with Kelly Bundy and Kelly Kapowski. Some of the best scenes in Wonder Years were hers. Everybody had opportunities to shine in that show. Such a terrific ensemble cast. Even the Wayner had his moments.

Join the club mate me also. !!!

[@dr.wolinsbelt]

I’m today years old when I learned she was British.

[@jimmyshaker1720]

She was the hottest princess in Conan the Destroyer and my childhood crush when I was a 13 year old boy. She still looks like an Angel and its now 40 years later. Simply stunning woman! 😍❤

[@shanehester5317]

her and really all the rest played great parts and done it well.i have the dvd's and watch them every so often.

[@moviefan99]

I always adored her as Jane Porter in “Disney’s The Legend of Tarzan”.

[@erin011x]

LOVE olivia! she’s so beautiful 💛

[@juanjulioromancampos9814]

Olivia tiene gran personalidad,se nota tan espontánea y ocurrente.

[@JoshuaTraffanstedt]

I like the relationship Jack and Karen had. They remind me a lot of my mother and my grandfather (her dad). She had him wrapped around her finger even in adulthood. Both of his daughters did, but she had a real special place in his heart because she was the baby, born 10 years after their next youngest. Anytime her siblings wanted to borrow money, theyd have her ask. He could never tell her no 😂

[@kevinmkraft]

Great interview. d'Abo is funny!

[@nicklanese2210]

She was great in this show and Law and Order Criminal Intent.

[@collegeman1988]

I completely forgot she is a British actress with a British accent. She was great in The Wonder Years, and in the episode where she guest starred on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

[@naomirice4821]

My god she’s beautiful

[@protohass]

Had a crush on her too in 1990 would get shy whenever I seen her

[@pawthecowboycorgi]

My master says she was in the audience in a Ted Nugent concert (with a guitar). Look up that video on the tube "Great White Buffalo Ted Nugent". The pic shows him with a head dress. D'abo was zoomed in on at about 6:55 in that video

[@pawthecowboycorgi]

A DEM at a GOP concert

[@gjezik]

Beautiful!

[@JoshuaTraffanstedt]

Man, i always had a crush on this gal. Shes beautiful!

[@TheLordHighXcutioner]

I remember her on an episode of Growing Pains. Never thought she was a Brit.

[@hectorlopez1069]

She was impressive in the 95 soccer movie, the big green with steve Guttenberg.

[@ErnestoelIncorruptible]

Olivia usted representa la libertad y la rebeldía en el personaje de Karen. Amo ese personaje.

[@pdaniaful]

I had no idea she was English!!!

[@calilove5758]

My biggest crush growing up. Seeing her now she still is lol

[@ronkeenan9288]

Beautiful woman ,wow she's prettier now .

[@violinda.]

Looooove Karen vs Jack episodes.

[@marttull5979]

Loved this woman in greedy

[@buddyvilla7393]

She’s always been stunningly beautiful. Heartbreakingly beautiful and lovely!! And Olivia is an incredibly underrated actress!! In 1994-95 Olivia hit the trifecta. Greedy a screwball comedy with Michael JFox and Kirk Douglas. Yes the Kirk Douglas. Olivia plays Kirjs nurse Molly who spends much of the time in a bikini. 2) Kicking and Screaming a Romantic Comedy with Josh Hamilton and Elliott Gould and Eric Stoltz. I think written and directed by Noah Baumbach. And 3) The Kast Good Time a bittersweet drama with German Actor Armin Mueller- Stahl. I used to watch The Wonder Years hoping the episode would be about Karen but usually it was about Kevin and Winnie. Obsessed hell yes. Also check out Spirit of 76 a comedy Olivia travels back in time from the future with David Cassidy. They do t make it to 1776 but 1976 instead.Ivia can do a much better American accent than her heavyweight British actors Bob Hoskins ,Albert Finney,Michael Caine, Happy 91 st Sir Michael!!

❤

[@jvst20051]

What! I thought she was American

[@TaylorZanderFrancis]

She was born in Britain but moved to America at high school age, so her voice is like a British / American hybrid

[@shaneestokes880]

@@TaylorZanderFrancis right so it's hard to believe she didn't lose her accent after being here for almost 40 yrs

[@herbsuperb6034]

Yeah. She played an American teen VERY convincingly. She's a credit to the thespian tradition of the UK, for certain.

[@marttull5979]

Her role in greedy she has a proper English accent

[@theDrzhivargo]

shes british?

[@jimmyshaker1720]

Bambata, Bambata, Save Me! She will always be the sexy little princess from Conan the Destroyer to me. 👸

[@MEEG0L]

I saw that movie when I was 5 years old and had a HUGE crush on her.

[@wildeirishpoet]

A real babe!!

[@ericjay6021]

When did she pick up a British accent?

[@randalstilskin5266]

I always loved her face but the rest of her is a brick house as well.

[@joseaguila1390]

Watch Bolero 1984. She was only 14. Apparently it was legal to make.

[@sonicjet7759]

Ivanka Trump? 😊❤

[@jeffreybaker100]

I love British Women and their intoxicating accents!
