The actress, whose star turn in "Martha Marcy May Marlene" shifted her from younger sister of "Full House" twins Ashley and Mary-Kate to serious film actress, has previous stage credits to her name. A student at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, she also studied with the Atlanta Theater Company and was an understudy in the 2009 production of "Impressionism" with Joan Allen and Jeremy Irons.
She is currently working with Spike Lee on the remake of Chan-wook Park's "Oldboy," opposite Samuel L. Jackson and Josh Brolin. The film is scheduled for release on Oct. 11.
