Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen-Where's my mind
The Olsen twins started their acting career at the age of 9 months in the television series Full House, in which they took turns in the role of Michelle Tanner. As the producers did not want viewers to know that the role was played by twins, the sisters were initially credited as "Mary Kate Ashley Olsen", only later credited separately. The program was very popular worldwide in the 1980s and early 1990s.
Soon after the series ended, they acted in two more television series, "Double Dose", in 1998/1999, and "Twins in Trouble", in 2001/2002, and numerous films were produced by their own company, Dualstar , as well as a cartoon titled "Mary-Kate and Ashley in Action". They attracted thousands of children and teenagers around the world, and had their names and images stamped on clothes, perfumes, magazines, posters, films, video games, book series, etc.
In 2004, the twins acted in their last work together, the movie "On the Pique de New York", then surprised by announcing that they would go to college after finishing high school and, with that, they would be out of TV for a while. . Most young actors choose to act full-time after high school, few continue their studies (this is the case of Brooke Shields, Jodie Foster, and Natalie Portman, for example). Both studied at New York University at Gallatin School of Individualized Study, until Mary-Kate left the university and returned to California. She decided to stay on the West Coast and look for individual work with her company, DualStar; however, Mary-Kate was often seen smoking, drinking and getting thinner, the media made a lot of speculation about the matter, and finally, MK entered a rehabilitation program. She had anorexia nervosa. And then, they who were always seen together before, started to walk separately and in different events. Later that year, the Olsen twins received a star on the Walk of Fame on April 29, 2004. They are the youngest celebrities to receive this honor. In 2005, Ashley did an internship with the stylist Zac Posen

career in fashion
As the sisters have matured, there has been greater interest in their fashion choices, as The New York Times declared Mary-Kate a fashion icon for pioneering her signature (and now popular with celebrities and fans) "homeless" look. . The style, often referred to by fashion journalists as "ashcan" or "bohemian-bourgeois", is similar to the boho-chic style popularized in Britain by Kate Moss and Sienna Miller. The look comprises oversized glasses, boots, loose blouses and flowing skirts, with an aesthetic of mixing high-end and low-end pieces. The twins were stamped as luxury faces in the fashion line Badgley Mischka, in 2006.
The Olsen have a clothing line for girls ages 4 to 14 at Wal-Mart stores in North America, as well as a beauty line called "Mary-Kate and Ashley: Real fashion for real girls" ("Mary - Kate and Ashley: Real fashion for real girls").

The National Labor Committee praised the twins for their commitment to workers' rights.
The Olsens also launched their own couture label, "The Row", named after Savile Row in London. In 2007, they launched "Elizabeth & James", a contemporary collection inspired by many of their unique vintage finds and pieces in their personal closets. They also launched a women's clothing line for JC Penney called "Olsenboye" and a t-shirt line called "StyleMint".
In 2008, the sisters published the book "Influence", a compilation of interviews with many of the most prominent people in the field of fashion. On August 7, 2013, the twins launched a new fashion line in Oslo, Norway.
