Elizabeth Olsen, Sister of Mary Kate and Ashley, Breakout Sundance Film Star

We all know those famous twin stars, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Now their younger sister, Elizabeth Olsen, is making a name for herself. She's played in two Sundance films. One was called "Silent House," in which she played a terrified girl in an abandoned house. The other thriller was called "Martha Macy May Marlene." She got rave reviews for both performances.

Elizabeth Olsen, also know as Lizzie, is 21 years old. She is a senior at NYU's Film School.

Olsen has already chosen her next film which is titled, "Red Lights" which is a paranormal activity thriller. Also starring in the film will be Sigourney Weaver and Robert De Niro. In this film, De Niro plays a psychic. Weaver plays a psychology professor and Olsen is her student.

When asked by The Hollywood Reporter what the most valuable lessons were that her famous sisters, Mary Kate and Ashely, have taught her, Olsen responded, "Well, first of all, our family is very close. We keep our values and our personal lives very private. I think my sisters are also very smart businesswomen and they work endless hours - people don't realize that. Fame is a really weird thing, and I think my sisters have handled themselves very well. It's really something for me to know that you never have to get caught up in it; you can just go on with your work."
