OLIVIA KATE IATRIDIS INUVIALUIT ACTRESS ON HER WAY TO L.A.
At age 13, Olivia Kate Iatridis declared to her mother, Gloria, that she was leaving home at 18 to go to Los Angeles to become an actress. “It scared the crap out of me,” said Gloria, whose daughter is now 16 and successfully on her way to her dream. “I looked at her and knew how serious she was, and I said if that’s what she wants to do, we need to invest in it.” Gloria, who’s from Tuktoyaktuk but raised Olivia in Yellowknife, invested in acting training for her daughter, just as parents invest in sports or other activities. She wanted Olivia to be as prepared as possible and have every opportunity to live her dream.
