Biography of Olivia Wilde
Olivia Wilde is a famous Hollywood actress and film director. She is known for her roles as Quorra in the sci-fi film "Tron," Ella Swenson in the western "Cowboys & Aliens," and Danielle in the detective drama "Words." Fans of Formula 1 racing will remember the actress in the role of Suzy Miller in the sports biographical drama "Rush," while fans of romantic dramas will recall her as Abby Dempsey in the love story film "Third Person." However, it was her portrayal of Thirteen, a doctor in the television series "House," that brought her worldwide fame.
Childhood and Family
Olivia Jane was born in the spring of 1984 into a very intelligent family, with Andrew and Leslie Cockburn (Wilde is the actress's pseudonym) as her parents. Her father is a well-known journalist and a graduate of Oxford, who was one of the creators of the program "60 Minutes" and has authored several non-fiction books. Her mother, who earned degrees in art history from Yale and the University of London, was a television producer and was awarded an Emmy.
Acting became Olivia's main goal, although her parents warned her that this profession is not an easy one. When her family moved to Dublin, she began studying at a film school, collaborated with the online magazine The Huffington Post, and started participating in auditions.The very first movie I saw and simply fell in love with was «The Red Shoes». But the genre that I really felt an unbreakable connection with was comedy. Even as a little girl, I adored comedies, Charlie Chaplin's films with all their falls and farce. I really enjoyed watching «Saturday Night Live». When I was ten years old, I got to attend a taping of the show, and that event became decisive for me. That's exactly what I want to do!
Film Career
Wild's film debut was the role of Jewel Goldman in the dramatic TV series "Skin." While the show didn't have high ratings, Olivia was invited to two projects at once: in 2004, the romantic comedy "The Girl Next Door" (as Kellie) and the teen drama "The O.C." (as Alex) were released.Working on set with well-known actors such as Peter Gallagher, Adam Brody, and Mischa Barton brought Olivia her first popularity and recognition, after which the actress cemented her success with her role as Remy "Thirteen" Hadley in the TV series "House."
The movie was released in 2010 and earned almost three times more than was invested in filming. Inspired by the success, the producers announced that a sequel to "Tron" was quite possible, in which Kevin Flynn would reappear and would again be played by Jeff Bridges.I imagined Quorra as very lively, with cat-like grace, almost like a ninja, which is what I sometimes called her. I wanted to find examples of warriors throughout history that could be used to create her character, ranging from Buddhist warriors to Joan of Arc, who ultimately became my main source of inspiration.
With Liam Neeson, Mila Kunis, and Adrien Brody, the actress starred in a love project "Third Person", playing the main role of Anna, and with Evan Peters and Donald Glover she played in the thriller "The Lazarus Effect". The young scientists who developed a serum that can revive the dead faced the terrifying consequences of their discovery. An accident happened to the character played by Wilde named Zoe, which resulted in her death. The scientists, who had previously conducted experiments on animals but had not fully tracked possible consequences, decided to bring the girl back to life. The new Zoe is completely different from the previous one: she is cruel, cold, and has superpowers.The funniest thing is that at first they told me that I was too sophisticated for this role. I thought, «Wow, that sounds great. I like this answer. I didn't get the part, but at least I'm sophisticated.» And then I found out that they actually called me old. I didn't get the role in «The Wolf of Wall Street» because they decided I was too old for it.

The only reason for divorce is if one of us stops being happy.
At the end of 2011, Wilde started living with the comedian actor Jason Sudeikis, and in 2013, the couple announced their engagement. In 2014, their first child, Otis Alexander, was born, and two years later, they welcomed their daughter, Daisy Josephine.
