Elizabeth struggled for years to establish an identity for herself outside of her siblings. In a way, though, this proved to be a good thing. "It has helped me navigate how I want to approach my career," she revealed. "I always had this need to prove myself to everyone around me that I work really hard. I couldn't walk in a room without everyone already having an opinion."
For a while, Elizabeth toyed with the idea of distancing herself from the twins. "The thing about nepotism is the fear that you don't earn or deserve the work," she said. "There was even a part of me when I was a little girl that thought if I'm gonna be an actress I'm going to go by Elizabeth Chase, which is my middle name."
Elizabeth eventually decided against using a stage name and has since proven to the world that she is a star in her own right. The actress has made it clear throughout her career that she's achieved everything she has on her own and not by using her connection. "I decided that as long as I felt confident and worked hard for it, instead of having it handed to me, no one could take that away from me," she told The Guardian in 2012. "I don't have any insecurity about it. I never got any job because of my sisters. I could have pulled a few strings through them, but I never needed to."
