A playback of Olivia Thirlby’s cinematic ascension
United 93 (2006)
Thirlby was barely 19 when she landed her first screen role, playing 21-year-old college student Nicole Carol Miller in this re-creation of the ill-fated 9/11 flight. Now she’s a 21-year-old who plays teens. Go figure.
Juno (2007)
As the BFF, Thirlby may not have originated jargon such as food baby, milktate or honest to blog. She just made it sound…human.
Snow Angels (Fri 7)
She lends much-needed warmth and hope to this ice-cold yarn about love and murder in a small town. Take her out of the movie and audiences would need to be put on suicide watch.
The Wackness (Jul 3)
This snapshot of NYC circa 1994 was a major hit at Sundance, and gives the young actor her breakout leading role. Stay tuned.

Margaret (later this year)
Kenneth Lonergan’s upcoming thriller-drama matches Thirlby with Matt Damon, Mark Ruffalo and Matthew Broderick.
Jack and Diane (2010)
Lesbians. Werewolves. What more do you need to know?
