7. President Obama Once Called Her Up To Personally Thank Her
A keen supporter of the Obama campaign, one of Wilde's most treasured moments occurred when - on the set of House, M.D., the Hugh Laurie medical drama that she was working on at the time - she received a call from... why, the President himself! Yes, Obama phoned up Olivia to personally thank the actress for her dedicated campaign support, because that's the kind of guy that he is, apparently. According to Wilde, the conversation was very professional, but when it was over she went pretty insane and could be seen jumping all over the set. "I was just squealing and squawking, trying to replay the whole thing," she said. The funniest thing about this incident, however, was that Obama was still on the line and heard her screaming with joy. Downright adorable.
