Olivia Wilde -- Todays Girl
Birthday: March 10, 1984
Born: New York City, New York
How You Know Her: Presently starring on House M.D.; got bloodied in Turistas; got catty on The O.C.; and was just plain sexy in The Girl Next Door—where she spent a month on set before finally joining the cast. Pretty much the same strategy we used to get hired here.
Hungry Like a Fox: “Once, in Australia, I ate 33 pancakes in 20 minutes... I won against these giant men, and they were convinced I was cheating. Guys have some sort of sick fascination with girls who can eat.” –Women's Health.

Quotes
* [On having played "Alex on The O.C. and "Thirteen" on House M.D.] "Most times my name is mentioned in any sort of magazine, it has to add, 'known for playing the bisexual.' And now, after House, it'll be, 'known for always playing the bisexual."
* [On House M.D.] "It's strange to be on this rocket ship of a show that doesn't see itself as being successful. When we hear our ratings every week, I'm like, 'No way. What? 20 million people were not watching TV at the same time."
