If you are looking for Olivia Smith, a woman who was executive producer of The X-Files and is currently married to a Hollywood movie director you will soon find out that she is at least partially Nationality. Olivia has a British mother and an American father. Her father is half Irish and half Scottish, as is her mother. She grew up in Southern California, which according to her birth certificate is where she was born, although the date is uncertain. As far as ancestry is concerned, her maternal ancestors are all British. Her paternal ones are mostly German.

For a woman whose greatest accomplishments have been building a successful television drama and developing an internet phenomenon through the development of an online community, it is interesting that she has chosen to write a book about the most enduring female character in television today, Mrs. Oliver Grey. But as the executive producer of The X-files, one of the most fascinating characters developed by the late George Lucas, I was curious to read something about Olivia. It turns out that her book is not a biography of the character, but a tell-tale tale of her life. In fact, the book is mostly about her relationship with the man who created the character, and how that relationship impacted her life. But also, the book chronicles the changes that she has made since she first appeared on television, becoming one of the top executive producers in the business.

The book is written as a sort of diaries, with the author recreating various key moments that she had throughout the making of the shows. There is the moment when the then newlywed Smith broke the ice with her then rival, creator of the soap opera ER. Then there is the time when she and creator Frank Spotnitz were working on a story for a potential episode of The X-files that would reveal the identity of the corporate thief that framed the former president. The book ends with the formation of the digital video teams that have produced some of the most popular and highly rated shows on television today.
