32 facts you need to know about Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

The charming Olsen twins burst into the film industry and won the love of audiences literally from birth. Born in 1986 in Los Angeles, the girls began their film careers at the age of six months, when they were chosen to play the role of the daughter of the hero of the TV series “Full House.” Instantly, these babes found themselves in the Forbes Celebrity 100 list, and then continued their acting career, delighting the audience with their cute faces, dimples and bright, innocent eyes. However, as she grew older, not a trace remained of her former beauty. And if sister Ashley has retained some of her former charm, Mary-Kate Olsen looks much older before and after plastic surgery at 33. What happened to the girl's face?

Olsen sisters - fast career decline

The girls were born on June 13, 1986 in California. Starting acting at the age of just six months, the Olsen sisters gave audiences many powerful roles in a number of box-office films. In the late 90s, the film “Two: Me and My Shadow” was released, which became the peak of the sisters’ popularity.

Teenage girls all over the world swept clothes, notebooks, and toys with their image off the shelves, dreaming of being like them. In 2004, the sisters received their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But the career that began quickly also quickly declined.

However, after completing filming, the twins found use for their talents and opened their own clothing line, surrendering to the design path. After leaving the film industry, the sisters began to be increasingly noticed in the scandalous chronicles of show business. Either animal rights activists attack them, accusing them of wearing fur, then, out of nowhere, accusations of drug use appear, or even journalists blamed Mary-Kate for the sudden death of Heath Ledger, with whom the girl was friends.

Olsen sisters about The Row brand

Lately, the Olsen sisters have been much more associated with fashion than with cinema.
And this is not surprising - the girls threw themselves headlong into working on the brand The Row, which has become not just another mass market “from a star”, but a full-fledged fashion house, whose outfits are happily worn by fashionistas on both sides of the ocean. And it all started... with a simple T-shirt. Like many teenagers, Ashley dreamed of the “perfect T-shirt” that would reflect her style, and could not find it. But, unlike most, she had money and connections, which she took advantage of by asking a lingerie factory to sew her a top.

It took more than a year for the pancake to finally stop coming out lumpy. The highest quality fabric, no seams, correct cut - this was the first item of The Row. This is where work on the brand concept began.

Despite the fact that the previous few years were difficult for the fashion industry - the crisis affected it greatly - the fashion house of the Olsen sisters grew by leaps and bounds. Fans of the twins’ star style were not embarrassed by either the prices (a regular top from the new collection costs about $250, a blouse costs almost one and a half thousand, dresses are closer to two thousand, and a coat costs about three and a half thousand dollars) or the relatively small number of sales points. Ashley explains the secret to success:

It all started when we realized that we lacked quality basics to wear with couture outfits. If you're as short as I am, you need to figure out how to take the attention away from it. In general, initially there was a concept, and a brand has already grown from it. We developed it based on the things that we ourselves lacked and dreamed about.

It is curious that today among the fans of the brand are not only young fashionistas, but also adult working women who are ready to spend money on quality, even if it is not from a “big label”. Mary-Kate is sure it's all in the details:

What we do is not mass market. We pay a lot of attention to silhouettes, fabrics, every detail.

In their company, the twins are responsible not only for creativity, but for the entire business as a whole. They go to meetings, meet with suppliers, visit factories... Their plans are to create a full-scale luxury brand, whose items will be sold everywhere.

Ashley and Mary-Kate dream of a line of bags, of producing shoes, of a full-fledged men's line. Well, their main goal is to finally open their own store, which will become a kind of “home” in which they will demonstrate their successes in the fashion field to friends and fans. It seems that the day when this will happen is not far off.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen...

...and their creations

Personal life

In 2020, the paparazzi published photographs of Mary-Kate in the company of the brother of the former French President, Olivier Sarkozy, and then reports appeared in the press about the couple's secret wedding.

On April 17, 2020, Olsen filed for divorce from Sarkozy, but the petition was not accepted by a New York court due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Famous films featuring twins

The Olsen twins gained worldwide fame after starring in the film “Two: Me and My Shadow.” The plot of the comedy is incredibly funny, and the girls in it are both touching and mischievous, so the success of the film was guaranteed.

After the successful film, viewers wanted to see Mary Kate and Ashley in similar films, and the young artists did not disappoint their expectations. Moreover, they launched a project about their family and travels, which was copied by the Kardashian clan a decade later. Their brother James also appeared in some films.

"Two: me and my shadow"

In the film “Two: Me and My Shadow,” Olsen played not sisters, but girls who looked very similar to each other. Each of them has their own difficulties, so, having met by chance, they decided to switch places and try to turn the situation around.

The father of quiet and obedient Alice plans to marry a quarrelsome woman whom the girl cannot stand, and a large family wants to adopt Amanda, who is growing up in an orphanage. After the substitution, those around them received a lot of reasons for reflection, faced with a radical transformation of the girls’ characters. Restless adventurers find a suitable bride for Alice's father, and at the same time a way to never be separated again.

After the comedy was released, the paparazzi hunted the Olsen teenagers day and night. The public wanted to know everything about the miracle girls and see them again and again.

It was at this moment that a serious rift began between the sisters' parents, and they divorced. The family of Mary Kate and Ashley tried to hide this information, but journalists hunting for sensations did not give them such an opportunity.

"Passport to Paris"

“Passport to Paris” became a biographical film for young actresses. In it they play the roles of sisters who went to the capital of France to visit their grandfather. There they find themselves in a whirlpool of adventures and dangerous events. A youth party, falling in love, helping grandpa with his work are mixed into an explosive mixture, and only Olsen’s resilient heroines can figure it all out.

On the set of the film, the young actresses kissed boys for the first time.

"Conquering London"

The screen characters Mary Kate and Ashley went to England at the age of fifteen.
One of the sisters found her first love there and, with the support of her twin, terrorized her gentleman’s titled father, who disliked her. The girls are still spontaneous, which adds charm to all incidents. In the following films, the producers hoped to gradually demonstrate the maturation of their wards, and then come up with new scenarios for the girls. Unfortunately, the Olsen sisters, having grown out of childhood, became uninteresting to viewers.

The 2004 film New York Minutes failed at the box office, and the sisters no longer had joint film projects.

What's wrong with Mary-Kate's face?

Not so long ago, appearing at one of the fashion award ceremonies, the girls amazed the audience with their strange appearance. Now there was no question of the sisters being indistinguishable. Mary-Kate has turned into an older version of her sister. What happened to the twin's face?

Her cheekbones became sharper, her once plump cheeks sunken, and her face itself took on a tired and dull appearance. Some fans say that the actress decided to remove Bisha's lumps, and the operation was not very successful.

Our experts believe that such changes are the result of too rapid weight loss due to anorexia nervosa, which began due to the death of a close friend, Australian actor Heath Ledger. He died from an overdose of illegal drugs. His body was discovered by his masseuse, but instead of calling the police, she double-dialed Mary-Kate's number. This fact was of great interest to the police.

Now the sisters are creating fashion collections of clothes, bags, jewelry and shoes, preferring the boho style. With the help of contouring, Mary-Kate Olsen improved the shape of her face, and in 2020 she no longer looks so terrifying.

Boho chic

The Olsen sisters' passion for casualness combined with creative thinking is often embodied in their beloved boho-chic style. Long straight-cut dresses with multi-layered drapery or ethnic patterns, exquisite floor-length capes made of silk with fur trim, dresses with silhouettes of the 20s of the last century - the embodiment of the image of a New York bohemian girl.

Is Ashley Olsen sick?

In the lives of celebrities, just like in the lives of ordinary people, various troubles happen. Frightening news appeared in the foreign media - American actress, producer, and clothing designer Ashley Olsen is suffering from tick-borne borreliosis.

How did Ashley Olsen get Lyme disease?

Most likely, Ashley contracted this terrible disease several years ago. The disease may not manifest itself for a long time, progressing and causing irreparable harm to the body. This is exactly what happened to Ashley Olsen, who, not knowing about her illness, lived quietly and did not undergo treatment. When the actress was diagnosed with the disease, it turned out that it was already in an advanced stage.

Tick-borne borreliosis is an infectious disease that manifests itself as headaches, photosensitivity, joint pain, and severe fatigue. If treatment is started on time, then therapy effectively helps to get rid of the disease. But in many cases, tick-borne borreliosis leads to paralysis, dementia, and death.

Ashley Olsen's disease began to progress in 2012 - it was then that news about her life and work stopped appearing in the media, and she herself “left” public life and became isolated, citing the fact that she wanted to take a break from close attention.

Ashley Olsen has Lyme disease - latest news

Relatives have not yet made official statements about the well-being of one of the star twins. It is known from unofficial sources that the actress is currently feeling better than she did some time ago. She gradually goes out into the world, tries to participate in public events, and works. Although, friends and colleagues say that when Ashley comes to work, she looks exhausted, unkempt, and tired. Some even avoid communicating with her - a bad mood has become familiar to Ashley.

But, despite this, her life is under great threat - Lyme disease is extremely difficult to treat, and the body after it is extremely difficult to recover. It’s not easy for both the actress herself and her loved ones; they are doing their best to ensure that 28-year-old Ashley Olsen is healthy and happy again.
