FAME by Oli Hillman

To be an actress embodies so many things. It constantly blurs the lines between reality and fantasy, and after a while I find myself wondering if I’m ever not playing a character. When so much of your life is captured on film or in photograph, it becomes hard to switch off. This has become more apparent to me than ever in the past 12 months spanning the making of this book. It has been a dream come true for me to document my life in this way, and to know that people care enough to want to see it.

Fame is something that I never set out to achieve. My dream was always to be an actress, I never anticipated everything that would come along with that, or quite how much my life would change. In the space of the past year, I have reached milestones in my career that once I could only dream of, and for that I am forever grateful. This book will take you on a journey with me, as I come to terms with the severity of fame. What started out as a pipe dream, is now a reality, and what was my private collection is now yours.

I would like to thank every photographer and creator involved in the process; they have helped me see the beauty in every moment that once went unseen, and for that I will be forever grateful. Finally, I would like to thank every one of you reading this who has bought the book, without you none of this would be possible. Now I know that I am more than an actress, I am a muse, a creative and a free spirit, and I will continue to evolve.

All my love
