Born to Sicilian-born parents, Sara is a dynamic, husky-voiced, bilingual actor with deep acting roots, having a BFA and MFA in Acting. Her acclaimed film LIONESS, which she starred in, wrote, and produced, screened internationally, including at Oscar and BAFTA-qualifying film festivals, and has over 50,000 views on YouTube. An avid swimmer (qualified for the Junior Olympics), she's plays bold women with raw emotional depth, infused with tenderness, bite, and (sometimes vulgar) wit. www.saraoliva.com
