Elizabeth Olsen is so much more than "the third Olsen sister."
Two years younger than her child-star twin sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley, Elizabeth — also known as Lizzie — shied away from the spotlight as a kid. But during the Sundance Film Festival in 2011, the indie darling burst onto the scene and clinched the hearts of critics.
Next month, Olsen joins the superstar cast of "Avengers: Age of Ultron," as the mysterious, reality-bending sorceress Scarlet Witch.
Growing up, Elizabeth Olsen thought her life was totally normal. Her family of five lived in the affluent LA suburb of Sherman Oaks, where she danced ballet, watched movies, and hung out on set of her twin sisters' TV show.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, two years older than little sister "Lizzie," shared the role of Michelle Tanner on the 90s family sitcom, "Full House." The show aired for eight seasons, and launched the girls into child-stardom.
Olsen's earliest IMDb credits are cameos in her sisters' direct-to-video movies. In this scene from "The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley: The Case of Thorn Mansion," Mary-Kate and Ashley tell her she's too young to join in their detective work.
