Olivia Wilde
(born Olivia Jane Cockburn on March 10, 1984) is an
American actress. Coming from a family of journalists,
she began acting in the early 2000s, and has since
appeared in a number of film and television parts,
including her roles on the series The O.C. and The Black
Donnellys.
Biography, Early life: Wilde was born in New York
City. Her mother, Leslie (née Corkhill Redlich), is a
60 Minutes producer and journalist, and her father,
Andrew Cockburn, is an Irish journalist. Her paternal
grandfather was the British novelist and journalist
Claud Cockburn. Wilde has said that as a result of her
family background, she has a "strong journalistic
streak", being "really critical and
analytical". She has wanted to become an actress
since the age of two. Wilde attended Georgetown Day
School in Washington, D.C., as well as the Phillips
Academy, and subsequently moved to Dublin, Ireland,
where she attended The Gaiety School of Acting. She had
initially began working as a casting assistant, and
changed her surname from "Cockburn" to
"Wilde" when she began acting professionally.
Career: Wilde has appeared in the films The Girl
Next Door, Alpha Dog and Turistas. She became known for
her recurring role on The O.C. as the bisexual character
Alex Kelly. She has also appeared in the Dashboard
Confessional music video for "Stolen" and was
heavily considered to play Bond girl Vesper Lynd in the
21st Bond film Casino Royale; Eva Green eventually won
the role. In 2005, Wilde was ranked #61 on Maxim
magazine's Hot 100. She was also ranked #95 on the FHM
100 Sexiest Women of 2006.
As of 2007, Wilde is a part of the ensemble cast of the
NBC midseason drama The Black Donnellys. Her character,
Jenny Reilly, is the lone principal female character in
the series following the lives of an Irish-American
family tied to organized crime in New York City. Also in
2007, Wilde will appear in the play Beauty on the Vine,
a political thriller scheduled to premiere in late April
and run until June; Wilde will play three different
characters.
Best known for her lusty portrayal of the stunningly
sexy and bisexual Alex Kelly on the Fox teen drama,
“The O.C.” (Fox, 2003- ), starlet Olivia Wilde
broadened her status as one of the decade’s most
promising new actors by appearing in a slew of feature
films in 2006.
Born Olivia Jane Cockburn on March 10, 1984 in New York
City, NY, the future actress was raised in Washington
D.C. by journalist parents – National Geographic
reporter/author Andrew Cockburn and “60 Minutes”
(CBS, 1968- ) producer Leslie Cockburn. In fact, her
entire family was steeped in journalism – her sister
Chloe Cockburn was a writer, her grandfather was James
Helvick (aka Claud Cockburn) and her two uncles
Alexander and Patrick Cockburn were also journalists.
Cockburn graduated from Philips Academy in Andover, MA,
where she studied acting and starred in, directed and
produced over two dozen school productions. During her
summers, she traveled abroad, including Ireland, where
she studied drama at the renowned Gaiety School of
Acting in Dublin. She was a rebellious teen and acted
out by getting tattoos and piercings, dating older guys,
and at one time, even shaving her head – hence
“Wilde” as her stage name.
After graduating, Wilde moved to LA where, after
spending a month on the set of the film “The Girl Next
Door” (2004), starring Elisha Cuthbert (of “24”
fame), her knock-out good looks and talent landed her a
small role in the film. Before the movie was released,
Wilde was cast as Jewel Goldman, the female lead in
“Skin” (Fox, 2003), a Romeo and Juliet update set in
the wild world of porn. Unfortunately for Wilde (and
viewers), the much publicized drama series ended up
being a flop and was yanked from the schedule after only
three out of eight completed episodes were aired. After
her show was canceled, Wilde eloped in the back of a
LAFCO (Los Angeles Filmmaker's Cooperative) bus with
photographer and documentary director Tao Ruspoli, who
just happened to be an Italian prince. Upon returning to
LA, she was one of the key models in Abercrombie &
Fitch’s “Rising Stars” campaign in the summer of
2004.
However, it was Wilde’s next television role that
really put her on the map. She breathed dynamic and
provocative life into the temptress Alex Kelly on “The
O.C.” during the 2004-05 season, stealing the show and
attracting many male fans. In 2005, Wilde was ranked #61
on the Maxim magazine’s Hot 100 list.
As she continued her work on the popular Fox show, she
began to land roles in feature films, including Nicholas
Kazan’s hotly anticipated, hyper-violent and Sundance
Film Festival favorite “Alpha Dog” (2006),
co-starring pop singer Justin Timberlake, Sharon Stone
and fellow “The Girl Next Door” alum Emile Hirsch;
the adaptation of the critically acclaimed novel
“Running with Scissors” (2006), co-starring Annette
Bening, Evan Rachel Wood, and Alec Baldwin; and
“Bickford Shmeckler’s Cool Ideas” (2006). Wilde
was also cast in the pilot of Bobby Moreseco’s
(co-screenwriter and co-producer of 2005’s
“Crash”), TV drama “The Black Donnellys” (NBC,
2006).
In addition to her acting work, Wilde was a team member
of the Los Angeles Filmmaker's Cooperative, serving as
the editor in chief of LAFCO NEWS and as a chair member
of the education department. She served as project
manager for the LAFCO production of The Lysistrata
Project, the first-ever world-wide theatrical event for
peace held in hundreds of cities worldwide.
The New York Observer has described Wilde as having a
"throaty voice" and the "wide, teal-eyed
charisma of Hollywood in the days of yore". She has
cited Meryl Streep, Sigourney Weaver, Frances McDormand,
Catherine Keener and Robin Wright Penn as acting
inspirations, and also admires playwright Eve Ensler and
director and actor Woody Allen.
Personal life: Wilde has dual citizenship between
the United Stated and Ireland. On June 7, 2003, Wilde,
nineteen at the time, married Prince Tao Ruspoli, an
Italian documentary filmmaker, photographer and flamenco
guitar player of aristocratic origin; the two eloped six
months after they met and were married in a small civil
ceremony conducted by a Justice of the Peace. They were
introduced to each other at a party by journalist Duncan
Campbell, a friend of Wilde's family. Wilde has said
that she and her husband are from "completely
different worlds". Wilde is a natural blonde and
has stated that people have been "shocked"
that she is a blonde but that "I wasn’t
stupid".
