The younger sister of acting and celebrity twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Elizabeth has emerged as a respected actor in her own right over recent years.

Olsen made her adult debut into Hollywood with the small, but critically-praised horror film, Silent House. She then moved onto a flurry of other films, including Red Lights (2012), Kill Your Darlings (2013) Oldboy (2013) and Godzilla (2014).

But Olsen’s career recently took off in a major way. She starred in Joss Whedon’s Avengers: Age of Ultron as Wanda Maximoff, The Scarlet Witch (a role she first appeared in while teased in the stinger of 2014’s Captain America:The Winter Soldier). With the ability to distort reality, Maximoff joined the Avengers in an effort to save Sokovia and the world.

The Marvel sequel was a worldwide success and nabbed a spot among the top ten highest grossing films of all time. Later this year, Olsen will be reprising her role as Scarlet Witch on Team Cap in Captain America: Civil War. Before that releases, though, you can catch Olsen alongside Loki actor Tom Hiddleston in the Hank Williams biopic I Saw The Light which is set for release in March.

Elizabeth Olsen was born on February 16, 1989 in Los Angeles, California, and she turns 26 years old today.

Happy Birthday, Elizabeth Olsen!
