Actress Elizabeth Olsen: Differentiating From The Twins

Actress Elizabeth Olsen - Elizabeth Olsen is the younger sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. With every new role she plays, she steps away from the Olsen family and does it with flair and style.

Elizabeth Olsen was born in 1989. She is 25 years old currently and is three years younger than her incredibly famous sisters, the Olsen twins or, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. She is developing herself as an Actress.

This already marks a pretty big difference, as Mary-Kate and Ashley appeared in front of a screen not more than six months after they were born, but they almost always acted together and committed to light comedy movies in which they were the central characters.

That's how basically they built their empire and today have a net worth of $300 million dollars. They are also strictly designers, having different brands. But Elizabeth seems to be different in almost everything.

The roles that she chooses are big risks. As a matter of fact, the first role she acted in as an adult and basically, the first one at all as the actual first one was when she was only five years old was in Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011).

This independent movie had her as the leading actress and Elizabeth Olsen was a young girl who had been in a cult for a relative time and got to escape. When she left, she went to her sister and the whole story goes dwelling between the memories of the cult and how she adapts to society later.

It's a quite interesting exploration of character and the movie made her famous as an actress. Elizabeth Olsen, like all of the Olsen brothers, are already famous due to their family but this movie started building her career in a professional level.

After that, she was in "Silent House" (2011), "Peace, Love & Misunderstanding" (2012), "Liberal Arts" (2012), "Very Good Girls" (2013) where she met Boyd Holbrook, who is now her fiancé, "In Secret" (2013), "Oldboy" (2013), "Godzilla" (2014), among others.

Whether she acts in comedies or dramas, she tends to choose not one-sided characters but rather complex ones that go through a lot of psychological changes throughout the movies.

She has certainly played several roles these last years and Elizabeth Olsen is proving to be an incredibly talented actress who stands on her own, and without any need of associations. She is making quite a name of herself.
