I've always wished that Olivia D'Abo would have had a bigger film career. She has the talent but has largely been wasted in junk. But on TV she was phenomenal as the hippie sister Karen in The Wonder Years and more recently as the psychotic criminal Nicole Wallace in Law & Order: Criminal Intent. She was radiant as the young writing student Jane in Noah Baumbach's excellent Generation X comedy Kicking and Screaming, and also proved she could tackle more mature roles as a porn star in The Velocity of Gary and a grungy, slutty white-trash woman from the wrong side of the tracks who has an affair with a much older man (Armin Mueller-Stahl) in The Last Good Time.
Moreover she is extremely beautiful - far prettier and more natural than your average Hollywood blonde - and has such a fresh, appealing presence. Her overbite is just the cutest! -

I concur. Olivia d'Abo is a very fine and lovely actress. She was terrific in "The Last Good Time" and very charming in the fun made-for-TV fright feature "The Triangle."
I enjoy keeping busy. Satan finds work for idle hands. -

Good to see Olivia being appreciated! She was funny and stunningly beautiful in Greedy. I agree that her role in The Last Good Time was the best showcase she's had as a dramatic actress to date. I will look out for The Triangle.

She won a Razzie like 20 years ago. Giving someone a Razzie for one their first performances, especially as a teenager, is pretty yellow IMO.
Halle Berry also won a Razzie after her Oscar. Does the Razzie negate her Oscar? Of course not. Awards don't mean you are talented, that's just the politics of show business. That has nothing to do with talent.

I could not agree with you more Cherry Blossom Tree- You really nailed it!!! Olivia should have had a much bigger career. What ever the quality of the material, she always shines. And yes,her overbite is adorable!

Its been years since I seen Greedy but I always loved that movie and even without the fact that Olivia wore "that" outfit when she was going to sleep with Kirks character I still enjoyed it, seeing her dolled up that way just made it all the more better as she is (In my opinion) gorgeous
Doesn't she have a sister as well who is just as good?

She was fantastic in Criminal Intent. Cute and beautiful, so be sure, but with a special ability to depict a suggestive, yet crazy person. Not everybody can do that. In fact, few. Her interplay with Vincent must be reckoned a highlight of that show.
