I was saddened to hear about the passing of actress Olivia Hussey. She was 73. Though she was most known for her striking performance as Juliet in the 1968 version of Romeo & Juliet, to me, she will forever be the first Final Girl Jess Bradford in 1974's seminal slasher Black Christmas. Iconic.

Hussey also appeared in such genre films Psycho 4, Turkey Shoot and Ice Cream Man and later in her career excelled at voice acting in franchises such as Batman and Star Wars. Sadly, Hussey was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008 and battled it intermittently until her death on December 27th. Rest in peace, Olivia.
