Olivia Cook: facts from life
Olivia was born in the industrial town of Oldham in the North West of England on December 27, 1993. Her family has nothing to do with cinema. The girl’s father, John, is an ordinary policeman, and mom is a sales representative. Olivia Cook was a versatile child. In childhood, she was engaged in ballet and gymnastics, was fond of roller skating and, of course, dreamed of a theater. She studied at the theater school of her native city and took part in the productions of the local theater. In 2012, her agent invited her to undergo tests for the role of Meg in the TV series "Outage", and from that moment on, the girl’s career rapidly went up.

The beginning of his acting career can be considered a mini-series "Outage", in the same year, Olivia Cook took part in the project "The Secret of Crickley Hall." The star for the girl was the role of Emma Decody in the series "Bates Motel", which started on the A&E channel. The actress herself in one of the interviews admitted that she was glad to cooperate with Vera Farmigoy and gained enormous experience, collaborating with an actress of this level.

The Bates Motel was the start for the cinema for Olivia, after which the offers to take part in a particular film do not stop coming to the manager of the young “star”. In 2014, she took part in the fantastic thriller Signal. This was followed by a small short film, “Ruby Skin”. In 2014, the mystical horror film John Pog “Experiment: Evil” was released on the screens in which Olivia played the main female role.

In 2015, a drama full of black humor “Me, Earl and the Dying Girl” came out on the big screens. At the Sundance Film Festival in 2014, the film received favorable reviews from critics, and, as many film experts believe, recognition of this festival is worth a lot.
