Mary-Kate & Ashley: What Happened to the Olsen Twins?
How Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen's Careers Started and Where They Are Now
The Olsen Twins' Career
In the first eight years of their career, Mary-Kate and Ashley acted in the TV show, Full House, as well as several movies such as To Grandmother's House We Go. Shortly after Full House, the Olsen twins began merchandising their image. They have been seen in movies, books, magazines, clothes, and fragrances. Television show the twins starred in are: Full House, Two of a Kind, Mary-Kate and Ashley in Action!, and So Little Time. They were in numerous films that include: How the West Was Fun, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, Billboard Dad, and New York Minute. The twins were popular in the teen industry, but their attempt at the more adult roles was somewhat of a flop.
The Olsen Twins' Fashion
Mary-Kate and Ashley have their own clothing line at Wal-Mart stores called "Mary-Kate and Ashley: Real Fashion for Real Girls". Their line "The Row" has been criticized by PETA for their use of fur. Ashley also made PETA's worst-dressed list for wearing fur. Mary-Kate's personal style has been dubbed the "homeless" look as it consists of over-sized sunglasses, loose sweaters, boots, and the mixing of high- and low-end clothing.
The Olsen Twins' Personal Lives
Mary-Kate and Ashley have a younger sister, Elizabeth, and an older brother, Trent. They also have two half-siblings, Taylor and Jake. In 2004, Mary-Kate was checked into rehab for an eating disorder. After graduating High School, the Olsen twins announced that they would be attending New York University. Soon after, Mary-Kate moved back to California to work more closely with their company, Dualstar. Before her senior year, Ashley also moved back to the West Coast.
What are the Olsen Twins up to now?
Ashley told Popeater that "when I turned 18, I moved to NY, and I haven't really done anything since to be a celebrity." Although they haven't been in the spotlight much recently, according to Mary-Kate, her sister still wants to focus on acting. Both twins are currently working on their high-end fashion lines "The Row" and "Elizabeth and James".

Mary-Kate has a recurring role on the Showtime Original Series "Weeds". Not sure if she'll be in this year's season, but we'll see. Good article!
Rumor (unsubstatiated, of course) has it that the two of them have had 'attachment surgery' in a private clinic in the former Societ Union and are travelling the countryside as "Siamese" twins.
These two seem like nice people. I've feared for their safety before, however. They are high profile people..a dangerous position to be in..Thanks, Tonya!
Thanks for the update. I was wondering about them.
They will be around for a long time, if not always in the picture, at least in the foreground, they have it in their blood!
Although I think their fortunes are made, I do wonder if they have identity issues, wondering what to do now. People probably still recognize them, making it hard to pick a career that wouldn't be in the limelight.
They also have a fragrance line, makeup line and sting of videos they made while growing up. I don't think they are hurting for money at all, they made millions as kids and teens.
I always thought it was so sad to put young kids in the position of a role model. Maybe being out of the spotlight is the best thing for them at this point.
