Gemini always attracts attention, even if they are not celebrities. What can we say about the stars of cinema and music. Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen occupy a special place among Hollywood celebrities, whose filmography includes only 19 films. And many of them failed at the box office. Having one fate for two, the sisters are actively engaged in producing and designing clothes. All this gives them the opportunity not only to live comfortably, but also to be one of the richest twins in the world. But their acting career began trite.
One debut for two
The Olsen sisters first appeared on the screen in 1987 in the popular television series Full House. They were then only 9 months old, they played one role - little Michelle Tanner. Ashley was more tearful, and therefore Mary-Kate was mostly filmed on close-ups. True, the creators of the series did not want to disclose this fact, but because in the credits they were listed as Mary-Kate Ashley Olsen. Only in the last season, the truth was revealed to the audience. Filming of the series continued until 1995, during which time the sisters managed to grow up (they were 8 years old) and become real movie and television stars. However, the first series with the Olsen sisters is still considered one of their best works in the history of their filming.
Movie roles
But the first film debut took place only in 1992 in the family comedy "Hide, Grandma! We're going." According to the plot of this tape, twin girls go on their own to stay with their grandmother. They think in this way to save mom from the hassle, but it turns out quite the opposite. Despite the simple plot and predictable ending of such a film, the comedy is still popular today.
The second landmark film of the Olsen sisters was the popular comedy "Two: Me and My Shadow", released in 1995. And at the box office it turned out to be a failure, but the video cassettes with it simply disappeared from the shelves of specialized stores. And to this day, it is from this comedy that many recognize Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, whose filmography has since been replenished with other tapes.
In general, all subsequent work in films and TV shows of the sisters are similar to each other. They played mostly twins or themselves. The plots of such sitcoms are predictable and understandable, and therefore critics often rated the acting skills of Ashley and Mary-Kate low. But in the 90s and early 2000s they were real idols of adolescents. The last film in which you can see the sisters together was the film "Moments of New York." She was released in 2004.
Brand Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen
Toward the end of filming in the TV series Full House, the twin sisters were quite popular in the United States. Understanding this, the girls' father acted very far-sighted and founded his own production company "Dualstar", the owners of which were the Olsen sisters. Thus, at the age of 6, Ashley and Mary-Kate became the youngest producers. Since that day, their names have become a real brand that has been actively sold. And the films where the Olsen sisters are made have become far from the only source of income.
So, in different years, twins under their own name produced clothing lines for the mass market. Although they can hardly claim style icons . Fashion critics scolded them for their appearance, or praised them, calling their style "street chic." They actively collaborate with Wal-Mart stores, where more than one collection of Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen was successfully sold. The filmography of the sisters will soon have fewer films than the number of clothing and accessories lines they developed.
In addition, a magazine bearing their name is published every 2 months. And the company "Mattel" from 2000 to 2005 produced dolls-copies of the Olsen sisters. All this in total allowed them to enter the list of 100 richest women on the planet.
Personal life
Despite the fact that literally from birth, the sisters are in front of the press, they manage to hide the details of their personal lives. In different years, there were rumors about their relationship with different celebrities. So, Mary-Kate is credited with an affair with Heath Ledger, and Ashley - a relationship with Johnny Depp and Gerard Leto. However, the actresses themselves refuse to comment on this.
Moreover, in the second half of the 2000s, when films with the Olsen sisters began to be forgotten , new scandals with Mary-Kate and Ashley arose one after another. So, in 2006, Ashley was accused of using illegal drugs. True, she failed to prove this, as a result, she won the process, she was paid compensation in the amount of $ 40 million. Mary-Kate at that time fell under the sights of the press because of her excessive thinness, she was even treated for anorexia in a rehabilitation center in Utah.
Conclusion
Today, the Olsen sisters do not act in film, focusing on the design and production career. Also, 27-year-old millionaires do not plan to start a large family or even get married soon. What can fans of stellar sisters Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen expect? The filmography of these twins, perhaps, will be replenished with new star roles. However, it is possible that they forever left a film career.
