She has put in a great deal of effort in preparation to advance in her career by honing her acting skills.
According to Wealthy Genius, Elizabeth began her acting career when she was only four years old. She was fortunate to be born into a family that was already established in the industry. She appeared in many of her famous sisters’ productions as a co-star. Elizabeth was cast in the 2011 film “Martha Marcy May Marlene, in the role of Martha. This was her big break as she starred in the lead role in a film about a girl who returned home after she escaped from a cult. She received positive recognition for her role in the movie. This opened more doors for other important roles that would further boost her career. The film was launched from a small budget of $600,000, but it grossed a whopping $5.4 million at the box office. This made her a valuable asset in the film industry.
Elizabeth also appeared in ‘Silent Hill” in her next acting gig. The reviews for the film were mixed, but her performance was stellar and received positive acclaim from the critics. She later appeared as Edie Parker in the film “Kill Your Darlings.” She co-starred in the film with Daniel Radcliffe of the “Harry Potter” franchise.
