Olsen cherished meeting Pfeiffer, whom she claims was “one of the reasons I wanted to become an actor.”  While Wood remembered brandishing a jump rope as a whip pretending to be Catwoman, like every little girl — or sexually-confused little boy — did after seeing Pfeiffer claw up the screen in Batman Returns.

Pinto, meanwhile, gushed over a crushed velvet-wearing Streisand: “I can’t believe you are right here in front of me. You’re not only a legend in Hollywood, but literally all over the world. I can say that because I come from India.” Streisand wasn’t short on praise — she never is, if everyone knows what’s good for them. Bigelow, the first woman to win a Best Directing Oscar, praised Babs as “somebody who has mastered virtually every art form imaginable: directing, acting, composing, singing, producing, writing.”

The legend, however, was quick to point out that out of the 250 films released last year, women directed only 7 percent and wrote only 10 percent. Aside from the glass ceiling behind the camera, Viola Davis emphasized diversity in front of it — or lack thereof.  “You don’t always love what you do,” she said during her speech, “but what keeps me in the business is hope, and that’s the hope that women of color are also part of the narrative.” [WWD]

The most hardcore way to go for the glitter is with a full-length red carpet ready dress. Elie Saab nailed this in emerald during Fashion Month. We can’t wait to see who wears this on the red carpet.

I think she is cute as a button and definitely doesn’t seem as nuts as Mary Kate & Ashley. I suppose only time will tell what the bright young actress will do.

She’s twice playing haunted young women. Once in Sean Durkin’s Martha Marcy May Marlene as a cult escapee, and another in Chris Kentis and Laura Lau’s Silent House, a young woman plagued by nightmares.

Not one to slink into acting under the guise of her last name alone, she’s graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts and the Atlantic Theater Company Acting School in New York. She’s also recently been compared to a young Maggie Gyllenhaal. Looks like little Olsen may have a solid acting career on her hands.

But speaking of her hands, how about this ahhhmazing Elizabeth and James cocktail ring?

The third and youngest Olsen (age 20), Elizabeth (Elizabeth and James was named after her and their older brother) is thrilled to be making her Broadway debut. She was recently an understudy for the Off-Broadway play Dust. Currently she is pursuing a BFA at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts at the Atlantic Theater Co.

I love Lizzie, she’s so cute, down to earth, and looks exactly like the twins, only has brown hair. She’s just as fashionable and very lucky to be able to borrow clothes from her two older siblings.

Elizabeth Olsen decided at a young age that animal cruelty was something she was not going to take. She first became a vegetarian, followed by a vegan and has been an advocate for animal rights for more than 20 years. She ultimately decided to turn her beliefs into a creative force, and the Olsenhaus brand was born.

Originally a southerner, Olsen attended art school in the South and design school in New York. She worked on the East Coast as a designer for Nine West, Calvin Klein and Bulga in addition to being the Creative Director at Tommy Hilfiger. She worked as a stylist on the West Coast on print ads, commercials and films. But her most impressive work is her vegan, cruelty-free shoe line Olsenhaus. Not only are they environmentally friendly, but the designs are the most creative and hip I have seen in awhile. From electric blue ultra suede boots with silver paint splatters to chunky black and silver platform heels, her collections have something for everyone to look good, and feel good, wearing.
