Elizabeth Olsen, best known for playing Wanda Maximoff, has two incredibly famous sisters
Elizabeth Olsen, who became a household name through her role as a Marvel superhero, recently offered a rare peek into her relationship with sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley.
The 36-year-old actor has made her mark in Hollywood thanks to her role as Wanda Maximoff in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
She’s also received praise for her performances in His Three Daughters and HBO’s Love & Death, where she portrayed Candy Montgomery.
But not too long ago, it was her twin sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley, now 38, who were the center of media attention as child stars turned fashion icons.
Mary-Kate and Ashley first gained fame through their shared role in the popular U.S. sitcom Full House.
They later built an empire of straight-to-video adventures under the banner of The Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley.
By the early 2000s, the twins had stepped away from acting and took a major turn into fashion.
They launched their luxury fashion label, The Row, which is now a well-respected brand in the industry.
So what was it like for Elizabeth growing up in such a well-known family?
While the sisters tend to keep their private lives under wraps, Elizabeth gave fans a little insight during a recent appearance on Today with Jenna & Friends.
Elizabeth, who grew up as one of six siblings, shared a fond memory of her family life: "I loved it. Especially being the baby. I really enjoyed it."
She followed up with this thought: "I also really admire the partnership that [Mary-Kate and Ashley] have and don't compete with it, in a way. It's something different."
Back in 2022, Elizabeth spoke to Harper’s Bazaar about how lucky she feels to have twins as older sisters, calling it a real advantage in life.

"I felt very clear about how I was going to navigate lots of things because of watching them. I also felt very protected," she said, explaining how having them around gave her a sense of safety. "I actually think it's an amazing feeling, being the younger sibling to twin sisters."
"If I was spoiled by one, the other wanted to match it. I loved it."
As for her sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley gave fans a rare update in September 2024 during an interview with Vogue. They said opening a store for their label The Row had been a long-time dream. "We've been looking for years," Ashley shared.
There isn’t much public information about the twins’ personal lives. Mary-Kate was once married to Olivier Sarkozy, but their relationship ended in divorce in 2021. Ashley tied the knot with Louis Eisner in 2022, and the couple welcomed their first child in August 2023.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth keeps a busy calendar with several upcoming projects, including Marvel Zombies, Eternity, and Panic Carefully.
