The actress had a major star turn in WandaVision alongside fellow Emmy nominee Kathryn Hahn, delving into the depths of grief as well as the heights of power of Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff in one of the very best Marvel Cinematic Universe performances yet. Despite being one of the most successful and recognizable stars of her generation, she keeps a low profile in general, a move she learned from her famous big sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. “There are ways you can be private—my sisters are intimately private and I respect that. They showed me that you can be private, but also accessible to journalists, for those reasons,” she told Harper’s Bazaar UK. “It’s helpful and I learned my value system from them. They’ve always had the greatest friends and so have I. People always ask, ‘Was it hard for you to make friends once you started working?’ And I’m like, ‘What are you talking about? No.’ I already had those and the ones I made through work are great.” She prefers to keep the focus on her professional accomplishments. While Olsen has starred in both blockbusters and indies, but she is looking forward to even smaller-scale projects as well in the future. “I’m always looking for the next thing. The next project I’m dying to do is a very small three-hander [a play for three characters] written by a brilliant playwright,” she previously told Parade. “We’re just waiting for funding after the COVID of it all so we can do it next year. It will be directed by a really great young theater director.” She added, “I’m always looking for people that I have a strong desire to collaborate with who are like-minded, and I’m always hungry to go back to something smaller. It’s where I feel most comfortable, which would therefore make me feel more safe to be vulnerable, and uncomfortable, and more experimental,” she explained. “There’s not as much pressure that you put on yourself because it feels like it’s more feeding your soul.” Preach it!

Is Elizabeth Olsen close to the twins?
Elizabeth Olsen adores her sisters and vice versa. She has spoken out in support of her sisters, especially regarding the media’s treatment of Mary-Kate when she was battling an eating disorder. Elizabeth told Nylonin 2011 that the media was “abusive,” explaining, “[The twins] turned 18 and what was going on in her life — I’m talking about Mary-Kate — was all over the news. They would follow us shopping and [Mary-Kate and Ashley] would almost get into car accidents because of the paparazzi, and I didn’t want to be a part of it. I just thought, ‘This is such bulls**t.’” She also says that the twins and their father gave her great advice. “Something my sisters always say, which might have come from my father at one point — my dad, I don’t know — is that ’no’ is a full sentence,” she said in an interview with Off Camera With Sam Jones. “And I really like that, especially as a woman. You can just say ’no,’ and I just really like that in all aspects of life.”
What has Elizabeth Olsen said about the twins?
Though she is close with Mary-Kate and Ashley in their personal lives, Elizabeth Olsen admitted she strongly considered using a stage name to distance herself from her sisters’ fame when she was starting out in the industry. She told Grazia in February 2021, “Nepotism is a thing and I’m very aware of it. And of course, I’ve always wanted to do it alone.” Still, she told Nylonthat if she ever struggled to get work, she’d seek some help and advice from the twins, noting, “I went through a phase when I first got into college where I was thinking, ‘If I don’t get a manager or agent, I’ll ask the girls [Mary-Kate and Ashley] to help me.’ I was OK with that idea, but I never needed it.” She expounded on her professional connection to her sisters in an April 2021 interview with Glamour UK. “I guess I understood what nepotism was like inherently as a 10-year-old,” she admitted. “I don’t know if I knew the word, but there is some sort of association of not earning something that I think bothered me at a very young age. It had to do with my own insecurities, but I was 10. So I don’t know how much I processed, but I did think, ‘I’m going to be Elizabeth Chase when I become an actress.’”

Her makeup artist, Pati Dubroff, told Allure, “I wanted the face to have a soft structure with matte brown sculpted eyes and a diffused deep nude lip — all in the spirit of a ‘90s supermodel.” View this post on Instagram

Is Elizabeth Olsen married?
Elizabeth Olsen is a newlywed! The actress quietly tied the knot with her husband, Milo Greene frontman Robbie Arnett, in 2020. She spilled the beans in a sitdown with Kaley Cuocoin Variety’s Actors on Actors series. “I also just noticed that my husband put Little Miss Magic — you know, the Little Miss books? They’re these classic books,” she gushed. “But magic because of WandaVision, because he’s such a f**king cutie.”
Who is Elizabeth Olsen’s husband?
Elizabeth Olsen is married to Milo Greene singer Robbie Arnett. He’s quite private (his Instagram page is sorely lacking any Olsen images—or many images in general!), so not much is publicly known about him. However, there is a possibility that his music may be featured in his wife’s future projects: His bandmate Marlana Sheetz told CBS News in 2012, “Originally when we started this band we wanted to create music that we could potentially see being placed in movies and TV. We really love scoring and that’s how we wanted the music to sound.” One of his other bandmates, Graham Fink, said the group lived in a van simply moving from city to city and show to show. In March 2017, when the couple first started dating, an insider told E! Newsthat Arnett is a “great guy.” He is reportedly also a movie buff and a basketball fan.
Does Elizabeth Olsen have Instagram?
Olsen used to post videos and photos to Instagram, but she doesn’t anymore — making her the opposite of her Instagram influencer character in Ingrid Goes West. She explained to Glamour UK, “[I thought] ‘Wait, why am I even trying to create a character version of myself and put it out in the world?’ And the whole thing just made me uncomfortable and it’s not even like I was really paying attention to comments or anything.” She also explained that she isn’t more vocal about social issues because she doesn’t think that it’s necessarily her place to do so. “I work for nonprofits that I’m really proud of and I do love talking about them, but I don’t feel the need to champion or denounce every single thing that happens in the world,” she said. “It feels like a lot of strange noise that doesn’t feel substantial. It’s dangerous to think, ‘Oh something just happened in the world, I am an entitled person whose voice must be heard on this issue.’ It’s such a narcissistic viewpoint. It’s important for people who want to be voices and have platforms and who care deeply about issues. But I am terrified of that pressure.”
Elizabeth Olsen movies and TV shows
Olsen made her acting debut in the Olsen twins’ TV movie How the West Was Fun when she was just five years old. Her feature film debut didn’t come until 2011’s Martha Marcy May Marlene. The same year, she starred Peace, Love & Misunderstanding and Silent House. In 2012, Olsen starred in Red Lights and Liberal Arts, and 2013 had star turns in Kill Your Darlings, Old Boy, In Secret and Very Good Girls. Olsen’s star soared in 2014 when she made her debut as Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and starred in Godzilla. She reprised the Wanda role for a second time in a much larger lead role in Avengers: Age of Ultronin 2015; she co-starred with fellow Marvel antihero Tom Hiddlestonin I Saw the Light. In 2016, Olsen starred in Captain America: Civil War, while 2017 was a busier year with three releases: Wind River, indie comedy Ingrid Goes West, and Kodachrome. Olsen’s Scarlet Witch made some serious emotional impacts with Avengers: Infinity Warin 2018 and Avengers: Endgamein 2019. Olsen has done critically acclaimed and fun television work as well. In 2016, she appeared as Norma Kopp in an episode of Drunk History and in 2017, she played Stirrup in an episode of HarmonQuest. From 2018 to 2019, Olsen starred in and executive produced the miniseries Sorry For Your Loss for Facebook Watch. It was one of her first major roles in which she explored grief, a journey she’d explore further in WandaVision. She told IndieWire of the project, “I had just gone through a transition in my personal life, not a death but a loss. I felt broken at the time, but the funny thing is that the loss became so irrelevant by the time we started shooting that it was no longer my connection to the script.” Of course, her biggest TV role ever came as Wanda in WandaVision in 2021, earning her an Emmy nod for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. She previously told Paradethat while she had positive experiences with Marvel throughout her tenure as arguably the strongest Avenger, WandaVision provided a unique and better experience to delve into the character. “It’s been a really lucky opportunity for me. I’ve always really appreciated the care and the way Marvel has used Wanda throughout the films I’ve been in,” she said. “As an actor, it’s important to always know when you’re serving an ensemble, when you’re serving the script and what your role in it is as part of an analytical process. It’s very different to then be the leader of that story, and so it was fun to have the six hours of exploring this character. Where maybe if you combine all the time on the other films, it maybe wouldn’t even add up to an hour.” Next, find out everything to know about Disney+’s What If…? and its impact on the Marvel multiverse!
