According to various celebrity gossip things, yes, they like her. One of the Olsen twins’ fashion lines is names after her & their brother (“Elizabeth and James”); they offered to buy her an NYC apartment (she refused). That’s about all I know, however.

I liked this movie, too, but found it kind of dubious that after two years in a cult she joined at 16 or 18 (?), Martha would have such utter disregard for the norms she’d (likely) practiced most of her life. Like, two years of communal living, and it seems natural to skinny dip in the company of your recently reunited family and crawl into your sister’s bed while she’s fucking your brother-in-law. Daryl Hannah had an easier time integrating in ‘Splash’!

seriously?? That is incredible! Where did she come from, why is she so good at her job??? She also looks like forty years older than them, in an awesome way. It’s like MK and A have this weird real-person for a sister! I wonder if they like her?

Everyone I know is like “do not see this, it’ll give you nightmares”.
ALSO: She’s the little sister of the Olsen Twins, but is an actual talent in a heavy way–she could probably just skate on being an adjunct Olsen, so props to her for getting a job and such.
