Biography

Olivia Wilde was born in New York. Her real last name- Cowburn. In the Cowburn family, Olivia is not the first person to choose a creative profession: the mother of the actress worked as a television producer, her father was a journalist, her grandfather was a famous novelist, and her aunt, Sarah Caudwell, is a master of detectives. The heroine of our story has a brother and sister.

Olivia Wilde graduated from high school in Washington and an academy in Massachusetts. After a while, her family moved to Ireland, where she graduated from the Dublin School of Acting.

The girl loves to read. Her favorites include "Collusion of Dunces" (D. K. Tulla) and "Eat, Pray, Love" (E. Gilbert).

Career

Olivia Wilde, whose filmography to date includes 35 feature films and television series, began her career as a casting assistant.

In 2003, the girl was lucky enough to break into the cast of the series "Skin". Then there were shootings in the movie "The Next Door" and the TV series "The Lonely Hearts", which brought her the first wave of fame.

In 2006, Olivia tries to break into the "big" cinema and gets into the Alpha Dog project, where she plays in the company with such stars as Justin Timberlake, Sharon Stone and Bruce Willis. And in 2007, the actress comes to a fateful project for her - the television series "Doctor House". In it, she had the role of doctor Remy Hadley. It was "Doctor House" that provided Olivia with the further rapid development of her acting career.

In 2010, an adventure blockbuster with Wilde in the title role - "Tron: Legacy" - is released on the big screens. The film's budget was $170 million and it grossed about $400 million at the box office. Filming was not easy for Olivia, as the actress had to devote all her time to sports so that Quorra's suit would fit her perfectly, and she herself would at least come close to the physical perfection of her character. In one interview, the actress admitted that she was inspired by Joan of Arc to work on the role.

Immediately after filming the blockbuster, Wilde got into the Cowboys vs. Aliens project. She was the only female lead in this film. Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig also took part in the Jon Favreau western.

Olivia Wilde, whose filmography was gradually replenished with worthy works, began to fall into the ratings of the most beautiful women in show business. And in 2009, the actress even took first place in the “hot hundred” of Maxim magazine.

Olivia Wilde: personal life

Hollywood celebrity has been married twice. The first husband of the actress - Tao Raspoli - won her heart in 2003. Wilde had just turned 18 at the time. Tao came from an aristocratic family. According to rumors, his parents were against this marriage, in connection with which the young had to secretly get married on one of the American beaches. The couple had no children. Their family life lasted until 2011, and then the couple suddenly announced their divorce.

A year later, Olivia Wilde remarried, but already civil. Jason Sudeikis became the partner of the actress. He is known to the viewer for the comedies "Once Upon a Time inVegas", "We are the Millers", etc. For the sake of living together with Sudeikis, Olivia abandoned the comfortable living in Los Angeles and moved to New York. Her efforts were not in vain: in 2014, the actress became a mother for the first time. The son received an unusual name - Otis Alexander. Olivia has repeatedly said that she would like to have many children, so we should wait for replenishment in the Sudeikis family.

Creative plans of the actress

However, Olivia Wilde is building not only family plans, but also creative ones.

In 2015, a project about rock musicians of the 1970s starts. The idea of the plot was submitted by Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones himself, and the TV movie will be directed by Martin Scorsese. Wilde was entrusted with the role of the character's wife, played by Bobby Cannavale. Whether the continuation of the series will be filmed will be shown by the release of the pilot episode.

Also in 2015, the fantastic picture "Lazarus" will be released on the big screens, in which the actress will play a certain Zoe - the resurrector of the dead. Olivia's co-stars will be Mark Duplass and Donald Glover. Director David Gelb has only made short films before, so this will be his debut.

This is how Olivia Wilde plans to spend 2015, but of course her family remains her top priority.
