Although they are fraternal, Mary-Kate and Ashley look almost identical, which is why their dad thought they would be perfect for Hollywood.
The Beginning Of An Empire

Mary-Kate and Ashley landed their breakthrough role as Michelle Tanner on Full House. Remarkably, the twins were a mere nine months old when the show made its debut.
They split the role because their age limited the time they could work before needing a break. The producers decided to switch them in and out so they could get double the acting time.
Becoming Household Names

Initially, there was considerable confusion as people mistook the twins for a single individual, as they were initially credited as “Mary-Kate Ashley Olsen.” It was a decision made by producers to hide the fact that two different people were playing Michelle.
When Full House started to take off, the press tours and interviews revealed that the twins were playing Michelle. They finally got the credit they deserved.
Famous for their Iconic One-Liners

“Absolutely not, amigo!” “Oh, drat!” “You’re in for a world of trouble, mister!” And the most unforgettable of them all, “You nailed it, dude!” These sassy and memorable one-liners have become iconic, continuing to be shared in GIFs even today. These simple lines made audiences love the pint-sized stars.
As Mary-Kate and Ashley became more popular, the writers of Full House started to make storylines specifically around Michelle Tanner. The Olsen twins were officially household names.
Full House Fashion Would Change Their Lives

Although they weren’t natural singers, the album ended up being a big hit with children, and it introduced the twins to a new market of fans.
Working Overtime

The Olsen twins were the hardest working children in Hollywood at the time. While actively filming Full House, the Olsen twins also embarked on cinematic ventures such as “To Grandmother’s House We Go,” “Double, Double, Toil and Trouble,” and “How The West Was Fun.”

Family Breakdown

Despite portraying a tight-knit, happy family on Full House, the reality behind the scenes painted a different picture as the Olsen family was unraveling. In 1995, Mary-Kate and Ashley’s parents divorced, and it was apparently because of the twins’ success.
It was an arduous period for their family, and in the aftermath of the divorce, they chose to guard their personal lives even more closely, becoming increasingly private.

Two Time TV Flop

While the majority of their ventures achieved remarkable success, the Olsen twins encountered a few setbacks along the way. Capitalizing on their immense influence in the teen market, they ventured into creating two television series, some of which experienced less favorable outcomes.
