Born in Sherman Oaks, the Olsen twins landed their starring role-sharing appearance on Full House at only five months old. The two stayed on the show for eight years, building an empire of kids movies, books, music, and their own fashion line along the way. In their teen years, Mary-Kate and Ashley switched over to sex symbols, to the excitement of men’s mags everywhere. Mary-Kate and Ashley remained inseparable in the media eye until Mary-Kate’s episode of anorexia, which cast her as the more rebellious of the two twins. Mary-Kate has now at last split from the shadow of Ashley, starring on her own for the first time in a movie about Andy Warhol called Factory Girl.
