Early Life
Elizabeth Chase Olsen was born on February 16th, 1989, in Los Angeles, California. She spent her early years studying ballet and learning how to sing, and soon enough, she was appearing in The Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley, How the West Was Fun and other Mary-Kate and Ashley movies.

Career
Elizabeth considered leaving the acting world due to the popularity of her older sisters, but she eventually broke through with the film Martha Marcy May Marlene in 2011. The dramatic thriller received considerable praise from critics, and Elizabeth was singled out for her leading performance. She also won numerous awards as a result of the role. Olsen was praised once again after appearing in the less successful film Silent House.
After appearing in Red Lights, Elizabeth booked another major role in Liberal Arts. Starring opposite Josh Radnor, she played a young college student who starts a romantic relationship with a man 16 years her senior. The 2012 film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and received positive reviews. Next year, she starred in the American remake of the South Korean film Oldboy and received a BAFTA Award nomination for her performance.

2015 was an important year for Elizabeth, as she booked the role of Scarlet Witch in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

During her involvement with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Olsen still had time for other projects, including the 2015 Hank Williams biopic Saw the Light, in which she played Hank Williams' wife.

Olsen ended 2017 with another starring role in the well-received film Ingrid Goes West.
In 2018, she turned her attention towards television, executive producing and starring in Sorry for Your Loss. The Facebook Watch web series was canceled in 2020 after two seasons, but Olsen's performance was widely lauded by critics. In 2019, it was confirmed that Elizabeth would star in her own series called WandaVision on Disney+.
