Given that one if them is now an Avenger, I wouldn't tell her that her career path was any sort of mistake. She can decide that for herself.

She is not an Olsen twin. Barrymore has no qualms talking about how rough things got for her. One of her things is offering sometimes unsolicited advice to young actors about avoiding her worst mistakes. Foster simply doesn't talk much to anybody, and only part of that was because she was in the closet for decades (came out in '13, but apparently was an open secret as far back as '93 when an LGBT friend outed her to me). She fucked off to France to get some peace and quiet. Both of these have had careers at least as good as Olsen's. Feldman, as far as I'm aware, still hasn't named the person who was ultimately responsible for Haim's suicide, even after #MeToo and Weinstein's defrocking. All three have strong opinions about what constitutes sketchy. I'm not clear if the Olsen Twins have registered the ways that they could have had a better life and that makes me sad. I don't recall if it was Barrymore or someone else who said that the problem with being a famous child is that you are too young to really understand friendship yet, and once people want things from you it's very hard to learn about it, because so many people are investing energy in pretending to be your friend. Imagine going through life not knowing what real friends look like.

  Then go tell the next britney spears or taylor swift that she isn't allowed to perform until she is 18. Waitress? Sure. Dig ditches on a farm? Ok. Sing a song and get paid for it? Nope. That is adult stuff. Can she dance at the olympics or is that also performing?

Neither of the Olsen twins is Wanda - Elizabeth Olsen is their younger sister.
