Olivia Thirlby Talks about Mary-Kate Olsen

Olivia Thirlby, Mary-Kate Olsen’s co-star in The Wackness, has been doing a lot of press recently. She has tons of movies out (including Juno).

In an interview with Pipe Dream, she was asked about MK and Heath Ledger.

Here’s what she had to say:

It’s sad. I don’t know, I haven’t talked to her about it. I don’t think she’s connected at all. I think it’s just that the tabloids f**king love her. All of the Heath stuff was created by the tabloids, which are evil, and you should print this: Everything the tabloids say are lies. It seems to be something that the general public can’t grasp. Literally, all that sh*t is completely made up. As somebody who has honestly never been in [the tabloid gossip], but as somebody whose friends have occasionally been victimized, the sh*t that they write is just so hilarious. It’s just so ridiculous! And it’s really hard to see Heath Ledgers’ death be made into this big who-dun-it, because somebody died and this person was poised for true greatness in this world and it’s so sad that he’s not going to be able to contribute anymore. Let’s just leave it at that.

Olivia is a bright young star and it seems like she’s very aware of the Hollywood scene. I wish her the best!
