Kathryn Hahn introduced Elizabeth Olsen at Variety's #PowerofWomen dinner: “She was so patient with all of my questions. Who is Ultron? What is that glove with all the gems on it?”

bit.ly/3SnTlic
“When it was just the two of us working on the finale, our base camp had two cars...She was very patient as it took me like a solid 40 minutes to ‘10-1’…which in the movie business, is to urinate. I had a lot of costume on, and a very small bladder.”

Hahn also told stories about the gifts that she and Olsen exchanged during the early days of the pandemic: a store-bought loaf of bread from Hahn, and from Olsen, worms for composting and a “perfectly strange and hilarious” recording of an original song.
