Elizabeth Olsen is American showbiz royalty. The younger sister of Nineties tween screen icons turned adult fashion darlings Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, she’s had an admirable career in coolly credible film and TV since 2011 while also playing Wanda Maximoff – aka the Scarlet Witch – in various offshoots of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for 10 years.
This month, the 35-year-old stars alongside Carrie Coon and Natasha Lyonne in Netflix’s His Three Daughters, about sisters bickering and bonding in the rent-controlled New York apartment where their father is dying. Her promotional schedule is so hectic we miss each other in London, so she zooms me from New York.
