Olivia Washington was born on 10 April, 1991. In 2015, Olivia told the Amsterdam News that she had a "very normal childhood" growing up and did "after-school activities" like any other kid. "It's interesting because I think people assume that in my house we [discussed] 'the Industry' like at the dinner table or something, but that wasn't the case," she said. Still, Olivia caught the acting bug anyway. "I grew up with an artistic spirit. I was always dancing or playing the piano," she said, adding that she received acting lessons through her dance company, the Eartha Robinson Project.
Although she was a "shy" kid, Olivia said she loved acting because it allowed her to express herself. She realised she wanted to pursue acting professionally with the help of family friend LaTanya Richardson-Jackson, whom Olivia refers to as "aunt." After high school, Olivia attended New York University, graduating in 2013. She received a bachelor's degree in drama from the university's Tisch School of the Arts.
Over the years, Olivia has had roles in TV series like "Empire," "Mr. Robot," and "I'm a Virgo," as well as movies like "The Butler" and "A Holiday in Harlem." While appearing on "Good Morning America" in 2021, Denzel praised his daughter by saying, "Olivia Washington is a great young actress. Very, very, very good young actress." He even joked that she was "coming" for John David's acting career.
