Although Elizabeth Olsen used to be known as the lesser-known younger sister to superstar twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, she’s now made such a name for herself as an actress, arguably surpassing the twins’ fame. The California native, born February 16, 1989, started acting when she was four, but didn’t really start to find her stride until after she graduated from New York University’s prestigious Tisch School of the Arts in 2013 after studying drama and finding critical acclaim for her leading role in the 2011 indie flick Martha Marcy May Marlene. She went on to act in a slew of other indie films and subsequently found her place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starring in many Avengers and Captain America films and also standing out as Scarlet Witch in Disney+’s WandaVision.
