Wilde has also appeared on Broadway, playing Julia in a 2017 production of “1984.” Early Life: Olivia Wilde was born Olivia Jane Cockburn on March 10, 1984, in New York City. Her mother is “60 Minutes” journalist and producer Leslie Cockburn, and her father, Andrew, is a journalist as well. Olivia’s paternal grandfather is British novelist Claud Cockburn, and she has two siblings, older sister Chloe and younger brother Charlie. She grew up in Washington, D.C. where she attended Georgetown Day School. She then attended Phillips Academy for high school. While in high school, Olivia changed her last name, and her new surname was inspired by author Oscar Wilde. She graduated from high school in 2002, and though she was accepted to New York’s Bard College, she kept deferring her enrollment in order to focus on acting. Wilde later attended Dublin’s Gaiety School of Acting. Career: In 2003, Olivia made her television debut on the Fox series “Skin,” playing Jewel Goldman in six episodes, and the following year, she appeared in the film “The Girl Next Door” and began a 13-episode stint as Alex Kelly on the Fox teen drama “The O.C.” Next, Wilde appeared in the films “Conversations with Other Women” (2005), “Alpha Dog” (2006),” “Bickford Shmeckler’s Cool Ideas” (2006), and “Turistas” (2006), and in 2007, she starred in the film “The Death and Life of Bobby Z” and the NBC drama “The Black Donnellys” as well as an off-Broadway production of the play “Beauty on the Vine.” In September of that year, Olivia joined the cast of “House” as Remy “Thirteen” Hadley, an internist who was suffering from Huntington’s disease; she appeared in 81 episodes of the medical drama.

Around this time, she also co-starred with Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds in the 2011 comedy “The Change-Up,” produced the documentary “Sun City Picture House” (2010), and began appearing in commercials for Revlon after the company named her a global brand ambassador.

The ceremony took place on a school bus in Washington, Virginia, with just two witnesses because the marriage was meant to be a secret. Olivia and Tao divorced in September 2011.
