The actor, 36, said that she grew up going to television and movie sets as her twin siblings, now 39, became household names.

The WandaVision<\/em> star, who co-stars alongside Callum Turner and Miles Teller in the new movie Eternity, <\/em>occasionally shares rare glimpses of her relationship with her sisters, but the family mostly remains out of the public eye after Mary-Kate and Ashley stepped away from acting in 2012.<\/p>\nEchoing previous comments she has made about her family\u2019s terrifying encounters with paparazzi while the twins were still minors, Elizabeth told The Times<\/em> that she almost quit acting due to the scrutiny her sisters faced throughout their young stardom, along with the inherent pressure of being raised near Hollywood. <\/p>\nThe actor said in 2021 that she even considering changing her name to Elizabeth Chase, her middle name, for her acting career when she was younger to avoid being associated with any nepotism from her sisters.<\/p>\n
However, she went on to use her own name in credits for her breakout role as Wanda Maximoff in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After first playing Maximoff in a post-credits scene in Captain America: The Winter Soldier<\/em> in 2014, she became an MCU staple, despite saying earlier this year that the superhero movies do not align with her personal taste.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing.
