Rob's guest this week is film, stage and television actress Olivia Williams. Olivia made her film debut in The Postman, and later won the lead role of Rosemary Cross in Wes Anderson's Rushmore. She then starred as Bruce Willis's wife in the blockbuster The Sixth Sense, a film she would later parody during her brief appearance in British sit-com Spaced. Other film credits include Lucky Break, An Education, Hanna, and Roman Polanski's The Ghost, for which she won several major awards. On TV, Olivia portrayed British author Jane Austen in Miss Austen Regrets, and was cast as Adelle DeWitt in Joss Whedon's Dollhouse. She writes a monthly column in The Telegraph and is currently starring in Ingmar Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage at the St James Theatre, London.
