Born: January 22, 1967

The daughter of British musician Michael d'Abo (of Manfred_Mann), London-born actress Olivia D'Abo is most widely known as Kevin Arnold's hippie sister, Karen, on The_Wonder_Years.The beloved nostalgic show ran from 1988 to 1992 on ABC and continues to live on in syndication. However, D'Abo had already made her film debut back in 1984 with Arnold_Schwarzenegger in Conan the Destroyer as a damsel in distress. Other than the monumentally bad Bolero, her other films have mostly been forgettable until 1994 when she cemented her position in Generation X by starring in Noah_Baumbach's Kicking and Screaming. She played Jane, the girl who chose to study abroad rather than date Josh_Hamilton's character. Around the same time, she wore very little clothes around the aging Kirk_Douglas in Jonathan_Lynn's Greedy and she played opposite aging Armin Mueller-Stahl in Bob_Balaban's The_Last_Good_Time. In the late '90s, she found a place for herself as a voice actor on animated TV shows. Starting with Mortal_Kombat:_The_Animated_Series, her voice credits have grown to include Justice_League, Batman_Beyond, and the Titanic video game. In 2001, she provided the voice of Jane in Disney's The Legend of Tarzan and its subsequent feature-length film. In 2003, she did the voice of Rox in The_Animatrix:_Matriculated.
