How is her acting?

I was surprised to have heard of an virtual Olsen "triplet" surfacing. What I find remarkable is the fact that her older twin sisters' acting is pretty mediocre considering they have been at it since they were fresh out of the womb. Very stilted, self-conscious and trained. I guess you either have it or you don't; no amount of training or experience can really do it for you...

Has anyone seen Elizabeth Olsen act? Has any of that same Olsen bad acting rubbed off on her?

I'm curious about this too. I guess we'll find out with this next role.

The twins were bad actors but at least they used to look good, now they have nothing. So it'll be interesting if this lesser know and decent looking sister can act. That'd kind of be the icing on the cake for the twins.

Koalas are telepathic. Plus, they control the weather.

Mary-Kate and Ashley are billionaires. They may not be acting anymore but they are incredibly successful business people now. They have 3 clothing lines - that's all they need. They're already set for life. They have a lot more than nothing.

As for Elizabeth, just because her sisters were mediocre actors doesn't mean she'll be. It helps that she actually went to school to learn how to act, but if she's good, she's good.

I love. I have loved. I will love.

I never said they weren't billionaires. There's a big difference to riches and talent. They might not care, but this *is* a movie review site...

That's what I was replying to. They hardly have nothing.

Aha. Yeah I choose my words poorly, I meant something along the line of have nothing left of their acting careers. I had no false impression they were now poor.

The thing is, if they wanted to keep acting, I'm almost positive that they would have no trouble getting work based on their name alone. They chose to stop.
