>> Stephen: WE ARE BACK WITH THE STAR OF "LOVE AND DEATH,"
ELIZABETH OLSON. YOU COME FROM AN ACTING FAMILY
KNEW BEEN PERFORMING SINCE YOU WERE FOUR.
>> Elizabeth: I HAVE BEEN DOING CAMPS AND SHOWING UP AT
THINGS BECAUSE IT WAS AFTER SCHOOL CARE BUT I WASN'T IN A
PROFESSIONAL -- >> Stephen: IN OTHER WORDS
PERIODS GO BE IN EXTRA IN YOUR SISTER'S FILM.
WE DO OUR RESEARCH. WAS THERE ANY OTHER OPTION?
I'M GOING TO DO THIS. NO, I'LL BE AN ACTRESS.
WAS THERE SOME OTHER PATH FOR YOU?
>> Elizabeth: I FELT LIKE I KNEW WHAT I WANTED SINCE I WAS
VERY LITTLE. MY EARLIEST MEMORIES ARE
MIMICKING MUSICALS AND I WATCHED, DANCING, SINGING, ALSO
WHAT MY GROUP OF FRIENDS DID SO WHEN I WENT THROUGH MY
ADOLESCENCE, WHEN YOU TRY TO REBEL AND STAND OUT AND BE
DIFFERENT WAS WHEN I THOUGHT I REALLY THINK I SHOULD BE AN
ACCOUNTANT. THAT WOULD MAKE ME NOT BASIC.
>> Stephen: BEING BASIC WAS -- >> Elizabeth: I'M FROM L.A.
EVERYONE COMES HERE TO BE AN ACTOR.
I CAN'T JUST BECOME AN ACTOR. >> Stephen: ONE ABOUT ACTUARY
TABLES? THAT IS SEXY.
>> Elizabeth: I SHOULD BE AN INVESTMENT BANKER.
I THOUGHT I NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT THEN I GOT
OVER THAT WHEN I WAS 15 AND FELL BACK IN THE THEATER.
>> Stephen: IS AN EVER TEMPTING TO GO TO SOMETHING ELSE
NOW? >> Elizabeth: NOW IT IS.
I THINK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME. >> Stephen: WHEN YOU'RE UP ON
THE WIRE 30 FEET FROM THE GROUND.
WHAT DO YOU DAYDREAM ABOUT DOING?
>> Elizabeth: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE GETTING TO DO THIS JOB,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE WITH PEOPLE WHO CARE A
LOT ABOUT IT. BUT I DO THINK IT WOULD BE FUN
TO DO SOMETHING WHERE THERE'S A BEGINNING AND ENDING THAT YOU
ARE IN CONTROL OF. >> Stephen: BECAUSE YOU ARE
JUST DOING YOUR PART OF IT IN SOMEONE ELSE'S EDITING IT AND
SPECIAL EFFECTS. >> Elizabeth: AND I DON'T FEEL
LIKE OH, THAN I SHOULD BE DIRECTING.
THAT'S NOT WHERE MY BRAIN GOES. I LIKE MAKING MONKS OR WHATEVER.
POTTERY IS GREAT. NOT LIKE IT WOULD BE A CAREER.
I'M NOT THAT GOOD. >> Eliz>> Stephen: NOT YET.
WHO WOULDN'T BUY A MUG FROM THIS WOMAN.
THINK ABOUT IT. >> Stephen: NEXT TIME --
>> Elizabeth: NEXT TIME I'M HERE, THESE WILL BE REPLACED.
>> Stephen: THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC.
THE NEW LIMITED SERIES IS CALLED "LOVE AND DEAH," WHICH IS A
GREAT COMBINATION AND IT'S GETTING A LOT OF BLOWS AND I
UNDERSTAND IT'S BASED ON A TRUE STORY.
>> Elizabeth: IT IS. IT'S BASED ON A TRUE STORY.
THE STORY, LET ME TELL YOU. IT'S ABOUT A GROUP OF YOUNG
FAMILIES LIVING IN TEXAS AND SLICK AND PRAIRIE IN 1978 AND
THEY HAVE DONE ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY FELT LIKE THEY NEEDED
TO DO, THEY HAVE FAMILIES, KIDS, CHURCH COMMUNITY AND MY
CHARACTER IS NOT HAPPY WITH JUST THAT AND SHE --
LIKE WE WATCHED IN THE CLIP, SHE TO HAVE AN AFFAIR.
VERY PLANNED OUT. >> Stephen: VERY RESERVED
PROPOSITION. >> Elizabeth: YES.
THEY PLAN IT OUT FOR MONTHS, THIS AFFAIR, TRUE STORY.
AND IT'S FOLLOWED BY A SUBSEQUENT MURDERING OF HIS
WIFE. >> Stephen: WE HAVE A CLIP OF
SOMETHING BEHIND THE SCENES. >> Elizabeth: OH, GOSH.
>> Stephen: THERE IS NO SOUND. >> Elizabeth: NO, NO SOUND.
IT WAS TAPED IT TO DIO VILLAGE WHERE PEOPLE WATCH THINGS WHILE
YOU'RE SHOOTING THEM. I HAVE A HUGE FEAR OF
ROLLER COASTERS. >> Stephen: YOU PERSONALLY.
>> Elizabeth: MY CHARACTER, THE SCENE BEFORE IS A HARD CUT
FROM "YOU LIKE ROLLER COASTERS" TO US BEING ON A ROLLER COASTER
AND WE GOT TO THE CHUTE AND I KNEW I WAS GOING TO BE TOO
SCARED TO DO IT A LOT SO I ASKED THEM TO BRING IN MY STUNT DOUBLE
MARVEL MOVIES. SHE DOES LOTS OF AMAZING STUNTS.
THEY NEED TO DO IT ON MY FACE FOR SOME OF IT.
I BROKE DOWN INTO TEARS.& >> Stephen: HAD YOU EVER
RIDDEN A ROLLER COASTER BEFORE? >> Elizabeth: I HAD AND THAT
IT WAS TOO SCARY. I DIDN'T EXPECT TO CRY.
I'M NOT A DRAMATIC PERSON PREDATOR LINK DRAWING ATTENTION
TO MYSELF. I DON'T LIKE TAKING AWAY TIME
FROM SHOOTING BUT IT WAS A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE FEELING.
THIS IS THE VIDEO OF THE ONE TAKE THAT I DID ON THE
ROLLER COASTER. OR A SNIPPET OF IT.
[LAUGHS] MY CHARACTER REALLY WAS SUPPOSED
TO ENJOY IT. >> Stephen: YOU'RE HAVING A
GREAT TIME. >> Elizabeth: SWEET JESSE WAS
REALLY THERE FOR ME IN THAT MOMENT.
AND THEN WE START GOING BACKWARDS.
THEY THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA FOR SOMEONE WHO IS SCARED
OF ROLLER COASTERS. YOU DO THE WHOLE THING AND THEN
YOU START DOING THE WHOLE THING BACKWARDS.
THAT WAS WHEN I WAS LIKE OKAY, I'M JUST GOING TO PRETEND TO BE
THE CHARACTER BUT THE CHARACTER WOULDN'T TALK THE WHOLE TIME AND
I'M JUST TALKING THE WHOLE TIME. TRYING TO BE LIKE OH, HOW MUCH
FUN WAS THAT? THAT WAS SO FUN.
>> Stephen: TO JOIN ANY POINT ENJOY IT?
>> Elizabeth: NO. >> Stephen: THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR BEING HERE. "LOVE AND DEATH" PREMIEES APRIL.
ELIZABETH OLSEN, EVERYBODY. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
COMEDIAN JENNA FRIEDMAN.
