Hollywood Beckons for British Actress
Olivia Hallinan is a British actress who was born on January 20, 1984. Hallinan was raised in the Hounslow district of west London. She began her professional acting career at the age of seven. It was at this young age that Olivia Hallinan made her first professional appearance, in Robin Hood Prince of Sherwood at the Piccadilly Theatre in London (1991). Olivia Hallinan has since appeared in over one hundred productions including films, theatre and television work.
Olivia Hallinan played the character of Julia Jeckyll, in the children’s Television series Julia Jeckyll and Harriet Hyde. The programme was broadcast on BB1 and ran from 1995 to 1998. It was a comedy drama loosely adapted from the novella (or short story) by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson's, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde first published in 1885. Olivia Hallinan went on to play the character of Ellie Allard in ITV’s teenage drama series Girls in Love. The Series was based on the book by British author Jacqueline Wilson. The story revolved around the lives of three school girls and is told through the eyes of Olivia Hallinan’s character Ellie. In the programme Ellie’s friends are Magda played by Zaraah Abrahams and Nadine played by Amy Kwolek. The series covered all the important aspects of life such as kissing boys, hanging out with friends and having fun. It ran for two seasons beginning in 2003 and ending in 2005. Olivia Hallinan had built up quite a big fan base by the time Girls in Love ended.
Olivia Hallinan then played the role of Kim Daniels in Sugar Rush. A lot of her new found fans were unable to follow her in her new programme, because it was broadcast late at night after the watershed. Many of those who did follow Olivia Hallinan to Channel 4’s brave new drama may have been surprised to discover their idol was no longer into kissing boys. Hallinan played the character of a 15 year old school girl coming to terms with adolescence and being attracted to her best friend, Maria Sweet, played by Lenora Crichlow. The series evolved quickly with Kim leaving home in the final episode of the second series. Sugar Rush was based on the book of the same title by Julie Burchill. The series was not just about Kim’s sexuality, with plenty of focus on her dysfunctional home life as well. Olivia Hallinan played the character of Kim with such elegance and charm that her sexuality became secondary. Olivia Hallinan narrated the story beautifully with good humour. The awkward moments in the series were surprisingly always family situations. On the whole it was an excellent television drama with a very strong cast list. It came as a big disappointment to Sugar Rush fans when Channel 4 axed the show. In their infinite wisdom they decided that the British public should be better suited watching infantile reality TV programme Big Brother instead.
