Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are the most famous Hollywood twins, and they gained fame with the role of Michelle Tanner in the popular sitcom 'Full House'.
There’s almost no person that hasn’t watched at least one episode of ‘Full House’, one of the most successful comedy series of all time. Famous twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who embodied the youngest character in the series, are celebrating their 36th birthday today.

Thanks to the series, even before the end of filming, the Olsen sisters became the youngest millionaires in history. They earned their own money. Today, their bank account is believed to weigh more than 500 million. They started acting in the series when they were only nine months old. They got the role because they were the only ones who didn't cry at the audition. On the list of roles in the opening credits, they were named as Mary-Kate Ashley Olsen to make viewers think one person is playing the role.
The popular series was just the beginning of their sister-business collaboration. They founded the company 'Dualstar', which directed films and videos about them. They became a sensation, followed by fans around the world, and there was a fan club that produced dolls with their faces. When they turned 18, they began to show an interest in fashion.
They were known for their so-called ‘homeless-style’ combinations. Wide sweaters, fluttery pants, big glasses, and huge scarves were part of their styling, and at one point ‘The New York Times’ declared Mary-Kate a fashion icon.
At one point, the sisters began producing fashion pieces for children, and then they developed their own high fashion brand, ‘The Row’.
As is often the case with people who taste Hollywood fame too soon, famous sisters have tasted the bitter side. Mary-Kate is more problematic, and it was written that she had problems with cocaine and that she had lost too much weight. She reported herself to a rehabilitation facility for anorexia.
