Olivia Olson rose to fame for her role as Joanna Anderson in the 2003 holiday film "Love Actually", singing the song "All I Want for Christmas is You".
Her singing was praised, with director Richard Curtis stating in the commentary in the music section of the "Love Actually" DVD that Olson's singing was so perfect, they were afraid the audience would not believe that a ten-year-old could really sing the way she did and would assume she was lip-synching to Mariah Carey's voice.
They had to train her so that her singing would sound more believable, and add the sounds of inhalations to the track.
