Much was made of Ellen Page’s performance in last year’s indie hit Juno, but we were mightily impressed by Olivia Thirlby who played Juno’s ditzy-sweet BFF Leah. She was so honest and made us love her character in just a few lines – not easy to do. So we are happy that Olivia’s career seems to be taking off! Olivia is starring in the Brett Ratner helmed New York, I Love You, a sort of anthology of short films about love in NYC. Olivia plays a wheelchair bound teen who goes to prom. Sounds good to us, we’ll be paying for a ticket for sure. Thanks for the shots Olivia – we think your star is on the rise!
