Olivia Walby

Olivia Walby has the esteemed honor of being the youngest lead actor in the history of film. Olivia was born in Royal Oak, Michigan. As a two and a half year old toddler, she auditioned amongst hundreds of young girls to land her first role as Annabelle, the lead in the dramatic, independent, feature film titled "Annabelle & Bear". Film festival audiences and juries across the United States have been moved and impressed by the abilities of this young actress in her tear-provoking debut. She has been awarded multiple honors for her performance including two Best Actress Awards which she won in categories with all adult nominees. Olivia delights in "pretending" as much as interacting with others from the very start of auditions to her last day of filming and beyond. She has surprised many on set, at such a tender age, with her unusually natural understanding of the role of an actor in the film-making process, and with her joyful attitude, patience, energy and ability to improvise beautifully scene after scene.
