Olivia Thirlby is an American actress who rose to fame for her role as Leah, the best friend of the titular character in the 2007 comedy-drama film Juno.
She was praised for her natural and witty performance, and many expected her to become a big star in Hollywood. However, Thirlby has not appeared in many mainstream movies since then. So, what has she been up to? Here is a brief overview of her life and career after Juno.
Thirlby’s name started trending after Page, who came out as transgender in 2020, revealed in his 2023 memoir, “Pageboy,” that they had a passionate romance on the set of “Juno,” and they had sex “all the time” while filming.
“I was taken aback the moment I saw Olivia Thirlby,” the “Inception” star wrote.
Page added that although they were the same age, Thirlby seemed “so much older, capable, and centered.
“Sexually open, far removed from where I was at the time. But the chemistry was palpable, it pulled me in.”
Page then detailed their alleged sexual encounters, writing they would get it on in “her hotel room, in our trailers at work, once in a tiny, private room in a restaurant.”
“We thought we were being subtle. Being intimate with Olivia helped my shame dissipate. I didn’t see a glint of it in her eyes and I wanted that — done feeling wretched about who I am,” he wrote.
Thirlby revealed she was bisexual in a 2011 interview with Brooklyn Magazine.
“No one should have to hide their sexual orientation,” she told the outlet at the time.
“Loving people is a necessary part of being human, and it is very difficult to love people in secret. It’s a horrible thing to force people to do.”
