Lugar y fecha de nacimiento. Olivia d'Abo (1968 - ) Actress Born: January 22, 1968, London, England Education: London Royal Ballet Theatre Despite her still noticeable British accent on talk show appearances, d'Abo has mastered a variety of American accents for her many TV and film roles. She first acted for the cameras when she was 13, in a TV commercial, and two years later was celebrating her 15th birthday on the set of CONAN EL DESTRUCTOR (1984), in which she had a solid co-starring role as the virginal princess. D'Abo is best known to TV audiences as Karen Arnold, the hippie older sister on The Wonder Years (ABC, 1988-92) who personified the restless youth of the late 1960s, wearing headbands and bell bottoms, and cutting school for love-ins. She has since often been cast as free spirits and sexpots, but has managed to move between comedy and drama, including her send-up as a sex kitten nursemaid lusting for Kirk Douglas' bank account in GREEDY (1994) and the poignant NUNCA HAY UNA ULTIMA VEZ (1994), in which d'Abo played the younger half of a May-December romance with Armin Mueller Stahl. Her film career became quite active in the mid-'90s when d'Abo starred opposite Dana Carvey in CLEAN SLATE (1994), Steve Guttenberg in THE BIG GREEN (1995) and Dana Delany and Kim Cattrall in LIVE NUDE GIRLS (1995).
