Australian actress, Olivia DeJonge is not one of the most famous actresses of the moment, but with the talent she has shown since the start of her career in 2011, the bet will allow her to go far. She hasn’t starred in many movies and TV shows so far, but is popular for her roles as Tara Swift in Cache and then as Becca in The Visit

As her effort as an actress has yet to catapult her to global fame, it’s no surprise that people can’t say a lot about this Aussie. Given this, let’s follow her for a bit.

Who is Olivia DeJonge?

On April 30, 1998, Robyn and Rob DeJonge gave birth to the first of their two children, Olivia DeJonge in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. When Olivia was 5, the family moved to Perth, Western Australia, where she was raised.

With the talent to be an actress since she was just a child, Olivia would perform for her parents, take part in many plays, and ask her brother to dress up in a tutus and perform.

The actress attended Presbyterian Ladies’ College in Perth.

DeJonge got her first professional gig in 2011 when she appeared as Ally in the short film, Good Pretender. In 2012, she was Polarized and 1130. She also starred in The Sisterhood of the Night (2014), The Visit (2015), the horror film Fear Campaign (2016), Better Look (2016), and Reflux (2018). She earned a Saturn Award nomination for Best Performance by a Young Actor for her role in The Visit

Apart from movies, she has also made guest appearances in some TV shows such as Australian TV series Cache (2015) and American drama TV series, Willpower (2018).

6 facts about the Australian actress

1. She always liked to play

As stated, DeJonge has always enjoyed performing since she was a child. Between the ages of 8 and 14, the Australian actress had already produced up to 41 radio and TV voiceovers as well as 4 TV spots. When she was 12, she was signed to talent manager and actress Theresa Huska. While Huska represents her at the Independent Management Company in Australia, she is represented by the Creative Artists Agency in Hollywood.

2. There have been many rejections for her along the way

Because Olivia has had the best side of the Australian film industry and has now sold herself to Hollywood, you’d think she’s had it all rosy. Contrary to that, it was not easy for her. In four years, she’s done over 70 auditions and had so many rejections in the process that she now doesn’t feel too bad about being turned down. When she was younger, she said every rejection would upset her, but now she’s all grown up.

3. She didn’t finish her studies

Due to her acting career, she has not had the full opportunity to focus solely on her education. Nevertheless, Dejonge is not ready to give up on education. She plans to study psychology.

Playing will always be the first thing for her but she doesn’t want to keep it as her only goal, which is why she is interested in going back to school. The young Aussie hopes to study at the University of Melbourne.

4. DeJonge is a feminist

In Willpower which is a television drama series based fictionally on the life of William Shakespeare, she plays Alice Burbage, a “feminist” who decides that instead of getting married, she will pursue her dreams without fear. Beyond the character, Olivia is also a feminist who says she doesn’t want to relegate herself to the role of girlfriend.

5. Professional Achievements

With less than 10 movies and TV productions to her name, Olivia DeJonge has accomplished a lot and she has been recognized in the form of awards.

She won the West Australian Screen Awards for Best Actress for her role in Good Pretenders and garnered numerous nominations including Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) awards and the Logie Awards.

6. She still lives in Perth, Western Australia

Olivia has come a long way since she started acting. Inasmuch as she now gigs in Hollywood, she still resides in Perth, Western Australia with her parents and younger brother, James.

As of 2018, his net worth was placed at less than $1 million. That said, his fortune should soon increase with his involvement in more things.
