Another Olsen

We may recognize them as stylemakers, but the only thing we ever learned from the Olsen Twins was how to “prune” for the cameras. That and how you can still look like a hobo whilst wearing thousands of dollars of designer duds.

Turns out Mary Kate and Ashley have an uber-talented little sister who is about to make her mark on American cinema with a star turn in the film Martha Marcy May Marlene. Elizabeth Olsen plays the title character, Martha, in the psychological thriller that explores her life and its unravelling when she returns to the real world after living as Marcy May in a cult in the Katskills.

The prune reference? Close your mouth, smile and say “prune.” Now you look like an Olsen twin! —Jennifer Nachshen
