Dawn Olivieri here is on House of Lies right now -- I don't watch that show, but the review I heard was, "everyone on it is great but the show itself is terrible" -- but you probably remember her best from her ill-fated relationship with Damon Salvatore on The Vampire Diaries. He's a vampire, she's a journalist, he keeps erasing her memory, and she ends up....badly. You know. That old story.
This didn't exactly go as planned for her either, I suspect.
