Olivia Kate Cooke was born on December 27, 1993, in Oldham, Greater Manchester, England, to parents Lindsay Wilde and John Cooke. Her mom was a sales representative and her father was a police officer. Unfortunately, her parents divorced when she was a child, and Olivia and her sister lived with their mother.

She first started acting at the age of 8 years old at the Oldham Theatre Workshop, an after-school drama program in her hometown. Olivia Cooke attended Royton and Crompton Academy for her secondary school and she enrolled at Oldham Sixth Form College where she studied drama.

Olivia Cooke played the role of Maria in the college production of Westside Story. She also booked her first, and last, leading role for the Oldham Theatre Workshop in their remake of Cinderella titled Prom: The Musical.

She eventually got commercial roles when she secured the services of her first local agent. On top of that, she got the chance to appear in One Direction’s “Autumn Term” tour video where she was seen getting a piggyback ride from Harry Styles.

During that time, she was keen on applying to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), but she was discouraged by her agent because she was already getting a lot of work as an actress. Despite that, she still advanced to the final rounds of the audition, but failed to make the cut.

Olivia Cooke got her first break when she was seen by Beverley Keogh, a casting director, while she was performing at the Oldham Theatre Workshop. She then helped Cooke book roles in a couple of BBC miniseries’. She played the characters of Megan “Meg” Demoys in Blackout and Nancy Linnet in The Secret of Crickey Hall. Both projects had 3 episodes each.

She then booked the role of Jane Harper in the British supernatural horror film The Quiet Ones wherein she beat out a lot of European actresses in a grueling casting process. The movie was shot in 2012 but was released in 2014. As for Olivia Cooke, she finished in 3rd place for the Best Supporting Actress award in the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards. Obviously, this would help to add to Olivia Cooke’s net worth in 2022.

She also led the cast of Ouija, a horror film based on the infamous board game. Despite garnering mixed reviews, it was a box office success as it grossed $102.5 million worldwide.

The following year, she landed the leading role of Rachel Kushner in the comedy-drama film Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. Her performance earned her multiple nominations including Best Supporting Actress, Best Female Newcomer, Best Breakthrough Performance – Female, and Best Actress.

She was then cast as the titular character in the drama film Katie Says Goodbye. Olivia Cooke won the Best Actress award from the Manchester Film Festival and the Newport Beach Film Festival because of her performance in the film.
