Dollhouse: Where Are They Now?
13. Olivia Williams
British-born Olivia Williams played Adele Dewitt, the head of the Los Angeles Dollhouse in the show. Sophisticated, cold, and efficient, she had a soft spot for the dolls (in particular Caroline, with whom she had a hidden history for much of the show) which she didn't like to show to those below her. This led to her often being seen as an enemy on the show by those looking to protect the dolls.
Working a demanding job, she sees value in the Dollhouse and even has a version of Victor programmed as her lover in lieu of a social life, a fact she hides from the rest of the house almost as well as she hides her growing alcoholism. During the Epitaphs, she is seen to have a more nurturing side, and is almost motherly when acting as Topher's carer.
Since the show was cancelled, Olivia has gone on to many different shows and movies, and was last seen alongside Olivia Coleman and Anthony Hopkins in The Father. Williams will return to screens in 2021, playing the role of Lavinia Bidlow in Joss Whedon's next project, The Nevers.
