Olivia Wilde

Olivia Wilde is an actress and producer who was born March 10, 1984 in New York, NY. Her given name at birth was Olivia Jane Cockburn. She has appeared in the films TRON (2010), The Next Three Days (2010), and Turistas (2006) and the TV series House M.D. and The O.C. Wilde is a member of the Environmental Media Association's Young Hollywood Board.

Wilde's involvement with the Environmental Media Association placed her in the midst of a scandal. In 2010, she attended EMA's event "Gettin' Your Garden On" at Venice Senior High School's organic garden, sponsored by Yes to Carrots and Kellogg Garden Products. While Kellogg Garden Products sells some organic soil amendments, the majority of its business is selling sewage sludge-based composts, which are illegal to use in organic farms and gardens. In the picture at left, you can see a bag of Kellogg's Amend with Wilde. For more on this controversy, see the article on the Environmental Media Association.
