Ms Delantar, who is also a nurse at Basingstoke Hospital, said: "It's not every day you get the opportunity to see your daughter on the big screen. It was surreal to see, and we are so proud of our little girl."
Olivia added: "If you want to be like me you have to be confident in movies and show your best acting."
