Sundance's Rising Star Elizabeth Olsen Discusses Acting And Breaking Out From Her Famous Sisters
Posted 8 hrs ago by Eric Ditzian in Sundance 2011, Video
FROM HOLLYWOOD CRUSH: Around this time last year, Elizabeth Olsen was known — if she was know at all — as the younger sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley. She was enrolled in NYU’s theatre program and had been auditioning for Broadway and Off-Broadway plays. But she’d made the conscious decision to avoid the career arc — filled with Hollywood highs and tabloid lows — of her sisters.
Only last January did she begin actively seeking out movie work. Now here she is at the Sundance Film Festival, about to achieve breakout status based on her two new films, “Silent House” and “Martha Marcy May Marlene.” It’s been a long time coming for the 21-year-old, but it was worth the wait if it meant not being exposed to the same spotlight that Mary-Kate and Ashley were as pre-teen stars.

Again, she shows a very good head and seems really grounded and down to earth. The Olsen family did a great job educating their children.
As for Lizzie being the prettier one, for me Ashley still is better looking one, her face and her pose just reflects something of a old Hollywood, She's is gorgeous but there is something else that surround her that puts her above her sisters. I remember reading something on to different magazines that, somehow struck a chord and I believe is what makes her special and a mystery, basely they were saying that Ashley' eyes are of an old soul.
"...she's tiny and quite, quite perfect. She's lived a thousand lives, yet not one of them shows on her 20-year-old face. Until you in her eyes, which are knowing and grave and belong to someone a decade older." - Jessica Brinton, 2006.
"She exudes a confident sophistication that seems far beyond her actual age, scarcely 20 years old."- Nylon magazine, 2006
"don't tell me", Ashley says and laughs, equal part imp and old soul. "Let me be surprised." - Marie-Claire, 2007
But going back to Lizzie, she seems to have a more "normal" style with a little mix of Ashley's one.
