Osvaldo Ribó

Andrés Bartolomé Osuna (30 November 1927 – 19 April 2015), better known by his stage name Osvaldo Ribó, was an Argentine tango singer. He was the father of Argentine-British actress Olivia Hussey (1951–2024) and the grandfather of American actress India Eisley.

Life Early years Ribó was born with the name Andrés Bartolomé Osuna, in the city of Victoria, province of Entre Ríos, Argentina. He was the sixth of ten siblings. His passion for music and singing awakened at an early age.

Olivia Hussey changed her paternal surname to her maternal one. When she became famous for starring in the film Romeo and Juliet (1968), she travelled to Argentina as a guest of the government. She said "I accepted because I wanted to see my dad."
