Olivia Wilde

If you asked 100 people who Olivia Wilde is, they likely wouldn't know. Now, ask them to identify the girl who played Marisa Cooper's GF on The O.C., you'd likely get a better response. But smooching Mischa Barton shouldn't be the height of Olivia's career -- she's too talented! She started off with her own series, thankyouverymuch: the prematurely canceled, Romeo & Juliet-inspired Skin. And in recent years, she's appeared in Alpha Dog, Turistas, and another needlessly axed series, The Black Donnellys. (Seriously, why do all the good shows get canned while shows like Cavemen even make it past the brainfart stage?) Perhaps her latest stint -- playing fellowship finalist Thirteen on House -- can bolster Olivia's place in Hollywood.
