What Elizabeth Olsen Hid From Her Famous Sisters for Years Will Wreck You
Los Angeles, California. 2002. Elizabeth Olsen was 13 years old. Her older twin sisters — Mary-Kate and Ashley — were already worth $300 million each by age 10. Elizabeth grew up watching reporters chase her sisters. She watched Mary-Kate develop an eating disorder publicly at 18. She made a decision quietly. She would not become famous through her last name. She acted under the name “Elizabeth Chase” in college plays. When she finally signed with an agent — she made him promise not to mention her sisters in any meeting. She got Marvel’s Wanda alone. On her own.
