Olivia Rusk－an excellent bald girl
Olivia Rusk has filled a lot of roles for someone who’s 14．She is a model．She delivers encouraging speeches, she’s a talk-show host for Radio Disney．
Now the high school freshman from Indianapolis has published a book, Just Your Average Teenager Who Happens to Be Bald(秃顶) ．She hopes to give 20, 000 free copies to young people．
Where does she get her motivation to do so many things? At least partially, she credits her baldness. "Something that could have traumatized me has actually given me so many opportunities that I would have never had," she says. “Most people assume I have cancer," she says, "which is totally fine. (But) I'm not sick or anything."
She was hired by Radio Disney at age 10 after another on-air personality interviewed her about what it was like as a girl living without hair. Managers at Disney were so impressed with her articulate answers and maturity that they offered her a job.
