Best Olivia Wilde movies and shows (and where to stream them)

One of the biggest names in film right now has to be Olivia Wilde. The actress-turned-director is gearing up to release her second feature-length directorial effort with Don’t Worry Darling, the movie everyone’s talking about and perhaps the most buzzy of all Olivia Wilde movies.

On the big screen, some might recognize Wilde best from hits like Tron: Legacy, Cowboys & Aliens, Rush, and many others. The star has also appeared in a number of supporting roles in dramas and cult comedies such as The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, Life Itself, and In Time.

Apart from Wilde’s work in movies, she got her start on the small screen in television shows we’re all still binge-watching. Of course, Olivia Wilde had an unforgettable turn in The O.C. season 2 as Marissa’s girlfriend Alex, and she appeared in four seasons of the medical drama House.
