Then and Now: Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey (1967) 

What is mimosa?

@@KimAhrina11 Champaign with orange juice

She did this in response to the studio who continuously tried to make her behave as juliet during interviews, so she rebelled by putting her hair up, smoking and drinking during this interview ahah

She’s 17 or so here

@Fianna Ah yes, because not wanting to destroy your lungs is being a "snowflake."

Hara Nobara 🙀🙀🙀

Hara Nobara What does your comment mean? Are you saying paintings because they are both good looking or do you consider them boring.

@@39Hundred It's because this was an interview from almost 50 years ago. Take a look at both of them. They both look like they're straight out of ancient pictures.

Marshall Street in 1968 they played Romeo & Juliet. If you haven’t seen this movie, please do. They are incredibly beautiful actors. I think the commenter was comparing them to works of art because the Shakespearean movie just cements a certain era past in your mind.

At 15 years old she's smoking and drinking in public not a pretty picture actually.😶😯

I cannot STAND comments like this. These are not average teenagers birdbrain. They’re professional actors. Look at the professional actors of the same age today. They are just as composed and articulate. Hypercritical for no good reason at all.

@@Nohandle1125 Nope. Sorry but they grew up much faster back then.

No they’re not they’re ghetto and all have plastic surgery at this age. Low class and ghetto. They’re my age but I’m at least honest enough to admit we are not like this lol … don’t be lying

They are like small animals... Needs the protections. That is the utmost responsibility of us, male!

hiba javed-akhtar I remember cigarette vending machines. That how easily you could purchase them.

Also legal smoking age was 16 in UK which I assume they were in

You obviously haven’t spent much time in Britain. Most kids are drinking smoking and pregnant by 14!

@@atomicsmith Well duh all of Europe is pretty much chill. I don't know why outsiders especially Americans find it weird

I was the same age as she was. I was in a school in TX. at the time, all of the kids smoked then. Hack,Hack!!!!! It was so grown up don't ya know.

Wtf nibbba from popeyes

omg i knowwwww im so bisexual and this hurts.

So true. They are just stunning......knocked the breath right out of me at first glance😌I was 14 then, and our class had to get permission slips to see the movie. I was on fire🍷

INESSA her, definitely her

@@melaniemorton3362 Uggggg im dead she is literally gorgeous. thats so cool you got to watch the movie when it first came out at school. Too bad you didn't get to meet her in person.

They look like two mischeivious kids having a laugh - which is what they were. This came up on my front page for some reason but it was a great watch. Different time.

This is why parents should be more responsible in disciplining kids and teach them manners.

I CANT HAHAHA

She still laughs the same way

I was thinking the same thing....Adorable.....

She was literally 15

The most beautiful woman ever

Her laugh was childlike because she was A CHILD. Don't get me wrong, I love the R&J story in spite of hollywood constantly misinterpreting it. This is by far my favorite adaptation. But was I the only one who found the bed scenes cringy considering her age. But thene again I do have a duaghter so maybe my art spec's could be a little biased.

Who the heck is Ship lol.... That OK boomer thing getting old real fast by upstairs like Greta

Same. We watched it in my English class. My best friend was depressed for weeks, LOL!

100%. read it in HS english lit class, then we watched the movie (VCR). absolutely blew me away. loved them both and the movie. cried as well. LOL truth.

It hit me in my soul too. I was a junior or senior in high school. Lovely lady.

But what's creepy is she was topless and did a sex scene.

Tip Top exactly.

Tip Top wait what ew

Tip Top Well almost all teens have sex so

@@ep3989 that's not okay

I had watched Romeo and Juliet when I was in 9th grade for english class. Leonard and Olivia had such great chemistry in the film. I can't see anyone one else playing Romeo and Juliet. Olivia is such a beautiful actress. And Leonard is a really handsome man. I agree Zack Efron looks like him a lot. I wonder if they could be related (even distantly). I had recently (a few days ago) bought the movie off google play and showed it to my kids (12 &15). And surprisingly they had liked it. I asked my eldest if their english teacher had shown them the movie. And she said no. Which was weird. Because I've seen it when I was in 8th/9th grade. Maybe she'll see it in high school.

You don't get out much do you?

I couldn't agree more x

Brenda H I’ll 2nd that.

Kara Morassco I watched this movie in my 9th grade English class as well. I loved it from the start. Now I’m in 11th

Watching this after hearing of the lawsuit hits different. You can feel their visible discomfort when directly asked about the nude scenes...essentially being required to agree to it on air when in fact they had not.

you are right, the world would have loved it if they wound up together. but their careers as actors would have to be sacrificed for that fate to come to pass, and no no young person in that industry could trade love for a career at that age

Kimmy Hernandez I meant more the hairstyles

I thought the same thing. It is the hairstyle and maybe the eyebrows that reminded me of Ariana Grande. Zac Efron definitely resembles him.

Please!! Olivia was so much more classic and sweeter!!

Ariana Grande is like the bootleg version. The high ponytail is a 1960s style that Ariana bit from actresses of this era.

Lmfao! 😂

Kali Johnston this makes no sense but ok lol

Goldn Haze how? This interview looks like it’s done during this day and age. And that they’re in 1960s clothes being in the 21st century

Gigi L * exactly. Like this person made it seem like it’s so surprising as if people from the 60s looked differently, they don’t. I didn’t understand what she meant and why she was so surprised about it.

Goldn Haze because [young] people today often imagine that people from 50+ years ago were always more classy and serious, more conservative, celebrities didn’t laugh and joke around much. Which was sort of true, if you’re thinking of folks like Katherine Hepburn and such. But this is the 60s after all, the decade of change.

Right, I thought it was Zac efron

she looks more like a model named lily chee

this comment is everything. i am so over anyone who wears half up half down or a pony to be compared to ari, ari did not invent the either hairstyles! so glad I'm not the only one who thinks this

@@KenTheKat Same. I've always been a high pony girl myself. I learned of Ariana Grande only a few years ago.

he has similar mannerisms to zac efron too though

@@KenTheKat but she popularized it in the modern age so I can see why people make that correlation

@@charlottecoolik9872 It's simpler than that. They're all related. Most famous actors today are illegitimate children of famous actors from before and the cycle continues.

Nahh she's more beautiful than Ariana

But if you go to verona, also in italy, then thats where romeo and juliette were. There are a lot of stories about it and also in italian

American Made How could you possibly know that when people genuinely have that opinion?

Yeh i knows. Innit blad!

Mic Jack immigration from 3rd world countries changes USA’s culture? What are you talking about 😂 do you even know how USA became to be what it is today? 😂

Mic Jack Bobby Brady Ah I see. So both of you are are racist. If you want to talk about logic and history, then Whites simply don’t belong in the USA because it’s not their land. It’s the Native Americans’. Of course, you probably don’t care about all the bloodshed that your people caused because in the end you won, right? I don’t even know where you got that info that 90% of Americans are native Americans because if you had a pair of functioning eyes, you’d see how wrong you are. USA is not a white country (and it never was). I think that’s made perfectly clear when your country has the most diverse population in the world, aside from Singapore. The only difference is that there are racists like you who believe in white supremacy. USA’s economy squarely relies on the influx of those so-called ‘3rd world’ people which you so negatively mention and without them, your economy would actually be even worse than it is. The illegal immigration is wrong and should be corrected. I’m not going to argue with you about that. However, the way that Trump has been going out in deporting illegal immigrants is wrong, inhumane and just as illegal. Although the funny thing about you mentioning illegal immigration is that you’re not worried about USA’s socioeconomics worsening even more because there’s bound to be overpopulation soon and limited housing. No. You’re worried about ‘incompatible cultures’ negatively influencing your ‘unity and security’ when it actually doesn’t. It seems that you don’t know this due to your racism, but majority of the illegal immigrants from 3rd world countries are actually educated and skilled workers. Racism just still exists in USA (which you are so finely proving) so you think that they’re basically uncivilized people. Funny thing too because it’s not Americans who are adapting to the immigrants, but actually the immigrants themselves. They’re the ones who have to adapt to the culture change and assimilate themselves into your country, and yet you’re acting as if the mere sight of them disgusts you. Let me just give you a simple answer of how illogical and stupid your claims are that Islam culture is incompatible with the rest. Ever heard of Singapore? It’s one of the richest countries in the world and boasts a low crime rate, unlike USA. And guess what? Islam is one of the majority religions there, and so is Catholicism. The so-called ‘incompatible cultures’ are able to adapt to each other and stay united despite their differences, because they respect one another and don’t think that 1 race or color is superior to the rest. Something that most Whites are actually struggling with in the US. Cultures do not threaten a country’s unity or security. It’s if there’s no respect towards the other cultures. And be careful, because you two sound awfully like Hitler did and we know what happened. Do you feel dumb now because your racist ass is being called out? USA is filled with many problems, but your white ass insecurity isn’t one of them. Your country has a diverse population. Live with it and just learn to embrace that fact instead of whining that you won’t be able to enjoy your white privileges anymore.

Bobby Brady omg you’re actually hilarious. I really didn’t know that white supremacists like you still exist. You’re the type who would justify white colonizations in Asia, wouldn’t you? Because you believe that ‘whites’ are the superior race and that you deserve everything. How close minded can you get? You’re the reason why USA is a laughing stock. Instead of having pride in your diversity, you’re choosing to oppress POC instead. Clearly you don’t even know your own country’s history because you choose to be blind to facts. You don’t even know Nazism started. Just remember where racism stems from, because it definitely wasn’t POCs that started it.

Lol she was known for smoking, drinking, and dressing in a way that “shocked” many, and a part of the counter culture of the 60’s! She also lived in the home Tate was murdered in after the murder, and dated older men. She was an amazing example of women being in control of their bodies and destiny, but would not like to be referred to angelic.

Leonard Whiting is 17 but looks matured yet Olivia Hussey is 15 but has childish features.

@Bobby Brady GenX certainly didn't carry themselves like that... Remember that GenX brought us Legally Blonde

@Bobby Brady Your generalizations are based on what happening on the movie screen, on television, and your limited human observations pre-Internet. The majority of GenXers were not in the public eye at all unless they were celebrities. Normal folk did not have social media, but even without that evidence, no one can say that most young people in GenX carried themselves with grace. Drew Barrymore on Letterman in '95, Tonya Harding out for some blood, Kiss (the band), Cameron Diaz with her "unique" hairstyle in a certain movie- I could go on. Would you say someone like Keira Knightley (a millennial) does not carry herself with grace? How about Emily Blunt (also a millennial)? Saying your generalizations remain valid is just you doubling down on an incorrect and arrogant assumption that all previous generations were blessed with grace, for... what purpose? To make yourself feel better? Millennials/Gen Z are in the comment section in such rapt admiration of these two actors, or cracking jokes (one of the two). All positive vibes, except for the usual Boomer/GenX mutterings of negativity and gatekeeping, for no reason at all. A real shame.

@Bobby Brady ok boomer

I humbly agree. While I do think the other versions are unique in they're own ways, I believe this version holds the torch for best film adaptation of Shakespeare's play.

Totally agree. Their exactly how I would picture Romeo and Juliet.

But also the movie and everything regarded can't be compared and even reach this level. I mean, we are talking about Franco Zeffirelli. And these two were the perfect pair to represent Romeo and Juliet. Btw he seems a very mature guy for his 17 to and smart, when talks about the difference between being an Actor playing in theatre (which is great) and TV shows and movies and a movie star...good point. He's truly beautiful btw. And she is as well but she seems little silly and with attitude..but she was just 15 so..
