In August 2018, Hussey spoke toabout her role in the film in honor of its 50th anniversary. “I loved playing Juliet,” the Argentina native said at the time. “The only part I didn’t like was all the PR. It was exhausting, and I was this wild little thing.”

According to, California law temporarily suspended the statute of limitations for older claims of child sexual abuse until the deadline of December 31, 2022.
