When we talk about actresses from the Hollywood industry today, there will be a couple of names that might stand out from the rest, but Elizabeth Olsen will be the individual that many will remember primarily since she has become the most popular female star for her role as The Scarlett Witch in the MCU in recent times.
While she may be one of the biggest actresses in the business today, many who might not know about her that well might be shocked to hear that she isn’t the only member of her family that is a distinguished individual. In fact, her two elder twin sisters were one of the biggest names in the film industry in the past, until they decided to leave their careers behind.

The Hollywood industry is filled with familial relations with many stars being related to each other. But when people came to know about Elizabeth Olsen‘s connection to her elder twin sisters, people were shocked beyond belief. Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen were the dynamic duo that were the biggest child and pre-teen stars of the ’90s and the early 2000s, becoming household names in the industry and becoming popular for starring in films together almost all the time.

Being the lead stars of some memorable films and TV shows in the past, most popular for their roles as Michelle in Full House, the Olsen twins were creating a name for themselves in the industry, and their futures looked brighter than any other child actors at the time of their peak. But then, Ashley Olsen decided to stop acting for good in 2004 after the release of New York Minute, while Mary-Kate Olsen continued to feature in films till 2011, her last act being in Beastly. since then, the stars have created their own fashion brand called The Row.
One of the main reasons why the stars decided to leave their lives as successful actors behind was the lack of passion within them to continue in the film industry. Along with that, giving it their all from a very young age, the actresses were never really exposed to other opportunities that they wanted to explore, and once they were old enough, they decided to finally take the step and pursue them to their hearts’ content, which involved them going to college, even if it meant leaving their life of stardom and success behind.
