Early Life and Education

Olivia Grant was born on 20 September 1983 in southwest London. At ten years old she earned a place as a Junior Associate at the Royal Ballet School and performed with the Royal Ballet at Covent Garden and the Birmingham Royal Ballet at Sadler’s Wells.

She attended St Paul’s Girls’ School in Hammersmith, combining academic study with dramatic performance training; she was also accepted as a Junior Associate at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.

Grant then matriculated at Brasenose College, Oxford University where she read English Literature and performed in up to two plays per term—roles included Isabella in Measure for Measure, Anna in Closer, and Natasha in Three Sisters.

While in her final year at Oxford she was invited to a showcase at the Old Vic Studios by a producer from the Royal Shakespeare Company, and very shortly afterwards she secured her first film role in Stardust.
