FINALLY, It is a pleasure to report that a sister of a famous celebrity family (see “Olsens”) is making news for her drive and/or talent; not who she dates and/or marries (see “Kardashians”).
Because Elizabeth Olsen received raves for her starring role in “Silent House” (let’s not forget her in “Martha, Marcy, May, Marlene” either), Hollywood decided that one good acting job deserves another. She, along with Sigourney Weaver and Robert DeNiro, are appearing in a thriller called “Red Lights,” which will premiere at Sundance on January 20th. Later, she co-stars with director Josh Radnor in “Liberal Arts.” She plays the “May” in this “May-December” cinematic romance with Mr. Radnor.
And, to further keep her pleasing presence in the public’s eye, she’ll co-star with Glenn Close in a ghost story called, “Therese Raquin.” This will be released next year; a time where no doubt, Ms. Olsen’s star will rise to an unseen height. 
This just proves that sometimes, the good girl wins. And, sometimes…, or this time, the sister of a more famous sibling is encouraging fodder for the film world; not embarrassing tabloid fodder. Hopefully, (and let’s pray that) Lindsay Lohan’s younger sister, Aliana, will follow down the same smooth road as Ms. Olsen chosen.
