Elizabeth Olsen, the accomplished Hollywood actress widely recognized for her portrayal of Wanda Maximoff, also known as the "Scarlet Witch," in Marvel productions, had a career path that diverged significantly from acting before gaining fame.
While Olsen has garnered acclaim for her roles in various films and the Disney+ series WandaVision, her breakthrough came with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, particularly her character's prominence in "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness." However, before entering the world of acting and superhero stardom, the American actress pursued a different profession.
Before achieving worldwide recognition, Elizabeth Olsen was involved in real estate. The actress shared her unconventional career beginnings during an appearance on Jimmy Fallon's "The Tonight Show." Olsen revealed that at the age of 19, upon moving to New York to pursue an acting career, she sought employment in real estate to support herself financially.
Fallon remarked during the interview, "I saw that you got your real estate license before your career took off." Olsen responded, explaining, "I wanted a summer job that wasn't in a restaurant." Her venture into real estate allowed her to cover her expenses while navigating the initial phases of her acting journey.
Reflecting on her experience in real estate, Olsen humorously reminisced, saying, "It was a breeze. I was scheduling appointments and inventing street names that I couldn’t pronounce." She also entertained her co-workers with an amusing anecdote about consistently mispronouncing New York street names, highlighting their amusement but lack of correction.
Elizabeth Olsen's venture into real estate was a pragmatic and financial choice that predates her Hollywood acclaim. Despite once holding a real estate license and facilitating property transactions, her current status as an international star has firmly anchored her in the acting realm, particularly as the adored Scarlet Witch in the Marvel universe.
