10 Things You Didn't Know About Elizabeth Olsen

10. Olsen Chose To Go By The Name "Elizabeth Chase" At School... In Order To Separate Her From Her Sisters Mary-Kate And Ashley

Born as "Elizabeth Chase Olsen", she decided to drop her surname at high school so that she was not too-closely associated with her twin sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley - who were already childhood stars. So while at Campbell Hall School in North Hollywood, California - the same school as the twins attended - she went by the name of "Elizabeth Chase" in order to be easily differentiated.
