Hey folks Sam Jones here.

Welcome to another edition of Off-camera, the show where I get to talk to iconic,

creative, curious artists, and find out how they got that way.

And in this episode I sit down with actress Elizabeth Olson.

It's safe to say that Elizabeth Olson did not have a normal childhood.

As the other sister to the Olson twins, Elizabeth had a front row seat to her sister's experience

in the spotlight, media circus included.

And she also witnessed what it was like to be a working actor,

something she wanted to be but was embarrassed to admit. As she says, I had this fear

that people would think I didn't earn or deserve the things I worked for because of who I was naturally associated with.

Well, the nepotism critique motivated her to prove her worth, but that turned out to be the easy part.

Elizabeth's a hard worker by nature.

After all, you don't get dubbed NYU's notorious

rehearsal Nazi for nothing.

And very soon, people started taking notice,

and Elizabeth started getting roles, including the one that led to her breakout performance in Martha Marcy May Marlene. Since then, Elizabeth has conquered the world of independent film in projects like Wind River, Kodakrome, and Ingrid Ghost West, and the blockbuster world of Marvel's

Avengers franchise, playing Superhero Scarlet Witch.

Elizabeth is the kind of actor who loves the work and the craft, and she's also the kind of artist who wants to take risks.

Her newest project, entitled Sorry for Your Loss, explores all the stages of grief, and Elizabeth plays a widow trying to piece her life back together.

Not easy subject matter, but as you'll see, she rises to any challenge thrown her way.

Elizabeth joins off camera to talk about the biggest lessons she had learned from her family,

why she may be one of the few actors who likes to audition,
