Olivia Watson

Background
Olivia led a small gallery but with financial help from Jean-Luc Martel she was able to open up a gallery of her own. Also she designed a collection of swimwear and furniture.

At the age of sixteen she applied for the role of an extra in a historical movie. She didn't get the part but somebody from the industry encouraged her to try her luck as a model. Olivia left everything behind and went to New York to become successful. At the age of eighteen she was one of the hottest European supermodels.

But living in New York was not easy: After signing her contract with a well-known agency, she was put into an apartment together with eight other girls. During the day they spent time with potential clients and up-coming photographers. At night the girls worked at night clubs to get a bit of extra money, where Olivia was sexually harassed twice.

Then Olivia met Freddie Mansur, who was the most successful agent of the business, and he took her to Paris with him and into his bed. Freddie gave her drugs to sleep and took one third of her earnings. When Olivia was twenty-six her skinny, drug-addicted look came out of fashion but she was still very much wanted for runway-jobs. But her 30th birthday was a turning point: She almost didn't get any jobs anymore and after three years even Freddie told her that it was over.

Without education or money and mentally wrecked, Olivia packed her belongings and went to Saint-Trope where she spent her days on the beach and the nights in clubs always on the hunt for the man that could give her the lifestyle she had grown used to. Then she had met Jean-Luc, fallen in love with him and gotten the gallery as a compensation for marriage and children.
