Elizabeth Chase Olsen (born February 16, 1989) is an American actress. Born in Sherman Oaks, California, Olsen began acting at age four. She starred in her debut film role in the thriller Martha Marcy May Marlene in 2011, for which she was acclaimed and nominated for a Critics’ Choice Movie Award among other accolades, followed by a role in the horror film Silent House. Olsen received a BAFTA Rising Star Award nomination and graduated from New York University two years later.
Olsen gained worldwide recognition for her portrayal of Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe media franchise, appearing in the superhero films Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: Endgame (2019), as well as the miniseries WandaVision (2021). Her performance in WandaVision garnered her nominations for a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award. Outside of her work as Scarlet Witch, she continued starring in films, including the 2014 monster film Godzilla, the 2017 mystery film Wind River, and the 2017 dramedy Ingrid Goes West. She executive produced and starred in the drama series Sorry for Your Loss (2018–2019), earning a Critics’ Choice Television Award nomination for her role as a widow.
Elizabeth Olsen says her ambition is to work with Oscar-winning actresses like Kate Winslet.
The 23-year-old has seen her career take off after appearing in Silent House and Martha Marcy May Marlene. Elizabeth wants to continue challenging herself and dreams of collaborating with her favourite female movie stars.
“To work with Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton or Kate Winslet,” she replied when asked what her biggest ambition is.
Elizabeth has a hectic work schedule at the moment. She is working on several movies which also star a host of big names.
“I’m playing Edie Parker, Jack Kerouac’s first wife in Kill Your Darlings, with Daniel Radcliffe as Allen Ginsberg, I’m learning guitar for a movie with Dakota Fanning and I’m in Therese Raquin with Glenn Close – exciting!” Elizabeth gushed.
The star also revealed her interest in working on another horror film. Silent House saw Elizabeth play a character who is trapped inside her increasingly spooky family’s lakeside retreat. She loved making the movie – even if she can’t bear to watch her performance in it.
“I like the feeling of being scared, but if I imagine the horrible facial expressions I’m making, I’m embarrassed!” she exclaimed in an interview with a UK magazine.
