Hi Caroline, this is a really great first draft; you can really tell all the time and effort you spent on it; it shines through. Also, I am super impressed you found an uncopyrighted photo of her; 12/10 job in that regard, that is a hard task. The first thing I would suggest would be adding that lead paragraph that introduces Olivia before delving into specifics, which I am sure will be no problem because you have all the necessary information at your ready. I think your balance of content is excellent; you emphasize what she finds important in life. If you were looking to slightly make the acting section a little more even with the music section (if I am correct, she is still primarily an actress? Sorry if I am wrong), maybe you can add a quote from her about acting because you included such great ones in the music section.

I believe your tone is very neutral, which is great; I think you certainly have a positive dialect which is great too because, as far as I know, she is a generally well-received individual with little to balance that positivity with negativity yet. In terms of the last paragraph about her personal life, I think you have some room to reduce wordiness there. For example, you begin the paragraph by saying, "Olivia's favorite thing in the world is writing…" I think you could reduce that down to, "Olivia has been writing music all her life, and it is her favorite activity" or something around those lines which sounds slightly more neutral. There is also the line "her favorite things to eat," which would perhaps read easier by saying "her favorite food is…" I also think there is a thing or two in this paragraph that will not hold up over time, for example, you say she picked up knitting over quarantine, that information may not be pertinent in a year or so, and eventually 'quarantine' as we use the term in our standard dialect today will fade from that position. It will be less familiar to a reader in years to come. (Assuming pandemics don’t become the new normal)

You have great sources; they all look very reliable; great job there. One thing I am going to apply from your article to mine is using more quotes. I was looking at many really established people when I was modeling my Wiki page, and I included almost exclusively facts and figures, which kind of structured page to be very small. I like how you expand it where you could, so it was a full Wikipedia page. Great job overall!! Let me know if you have any questions about the comments I made, but I think it's going to turn out great!
