Olga, in her non-acting life, made cups of tea for old women who had forgotten how to say thank you. One day, she went inside her own brain using drugs - and what she found at the centre of her brain was a whip. In a scene not unlike the alien hatching out of John Hurt's chest, Olga somehow managed to get this whip out of her brain, and acting Olga was born.

Olga signalled the start of the women's rights movement. The sound of fast wet slapping throughout the theatre heralded a new era of equality, and women were soon allowed to go into pubs, as long as they would take their clothes off.

Olga is truly the original Spice Girl.
