Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Fuller Olsen (born June 13, 1986) are twin American actresses. They have acted in movies and on television series since they were nine months old.
The twins began acting on the ABC series Full House between 1987 and 1995, in which both of them played Michelle Tanner.
In the early 1990s, they became the youngest entrepreneurs in Hollywood history by starting the Dualstar Entertainment company.
Later that decade, they acted in Two of a Kind and So Little Time, as well as their own animated series.
They also acted in the movies, It Takes Two (1994), New York Minute (2003), and many direct-to-video movies and specials.
