Olivia Wilde Stars in Touching Video Marking World Down Syndrome Day

Actress Olivia Wilde starred in a moving PSA celebrating the lives of people with Down Syndrome in honor of World Down Syndrome Day Monday.

The video is narrated by Anna Rubright, a 19-year-old New Jersey college student with Down Syndrome.

Rubright describes how she sees herself, “as a daughter, sister, and a best friend … singing, dancing, and laughing” just an “ordinary person, with an important, meaningful, beautiful life.”

Olivia Wilde portrays these moments in Rubright’s life and at the conclusion of the video Wilde’s reflection in the mirror pans to Rubright herself saying, “This is how I see myself. How do you see me?”
