Olsen ♥ Pfeiffer

Thanks to Marcus to alerting me to this.

Olsen's fond memory: meeting Michelle Pfeiffer on the set of "I Am Sam"Seems that Elizabeth Olsen, currently Oscar buzzing for her performance as a cult member in Martha Marcy May Marlene, shares not one but two favorite movie stars with The Film Experience. In this recent interview with THR's Scott Feinberg she's asked about favorite films and her idols growing up. Her response:

When it came to the first actors I idolized it was Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra. The first actress that I really loved when I was probably ten was Michelle Pfeiffer. I was completely in love with her and I actually got to meet her on the set of I Am Sam.

She wouldn't have remembered that but I was -- it was my first time I remember being speechless as a kid because always I was speaking. A girlfriend in my class --- her uncle did her hair for I Am Sam. That was exciting. 

Ahhh, Kelly and Pfeiffer? She has good taste, she does. Can't wait to see Martha Marcy May Marlene. Very soon my hungry eyes will gobble it up at the NYFF screening.

Should you care to see the whole interview you can do so after the jump.

Wow. She seems awesome. So glad she is a Pfeiffer fan. Can't wait to see the film.

It seems like her Felicity Jones are in a tug of war to get that Jennifer Lawrence spot at the Oscars. Felicity seems to have the edge at the moment.

Bia -- it's weird. I have been so resistant to the Felicity Jones buzz all year. Maybe because I hear so little about the film and I thought she was, uh, how to put this... not skilled? in the previous movies I saw her in.

best Actress is seeming to me a little bit like we don't know anything after we thought we knew everything. which is why (or one of the many reasons why) i hope Viola shoots for the big gold instead of "settling" for supporting where she doesn't belong and which will damage her film's reputation more than it needs to be damaged.

Saw MMMM at TIFF and hope Elizabeth makes the Top 5. LOVE the film.
