Next-Gen Star: Hollywood Siblings on the Rise

Elizabeth Olsen

Elizabeth Olsen While her older sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley, were thrust into the spotlight before they could even talk, Elizabeth is easing into it at her own pace—and so far, it’s paying off. Olsen graduated from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, and her starring performance in the independent thriller "Martha Marcy May Marlene" generated quite a bit of a-star-is-born buzz at Sundance this year. Olsen also starred alongside indie heavyweights Jane Fonda, Catherine Keener, and Kyle Maclachlan in "Peace, Love & Understanding," and will star with Dakota Fanning in a film called "Very Good Girls" scheduled for release in 2013.
