Though they look identical, Mary-Kate and Ashley, born on June 13th, 1986 in Sherman Oaks, California, are actually fraternal twins. Ashley is the "older" one, arriving a full two minutes before her sister. A close family friend persuaded reluctant mother Jarnette to take the four-month-old babies to an audition for a TV sitcom that was about to begin filming. After the producers held the babies in their arms without inducing any crying, the twins were rewarded with their first role, in the easiest audition they would ever have to do.

Before they could barely walk, the Olsen twins were already known across the world as the irresistible "Michelle Tanner" on Full House. Milking the children's market, the twins established a virtual empire, producing several straight-to-video movies, interactive games and a full-length big-screen feature called It Takes Two. Now, Mary-Kate and Ashley have their own line of clothing and perfume to add to their constant TV appearances.

"We are very wholesome and we don't go around flaunting everything . We're not really rebellious. We're not trying to be something that we're not."
