Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen attend the JCPenney launch event at Pier 57 in New York City, Jan. 25, 2012.
Sure, they separately have different dispositions and taste in men, but who can’t argue that the Olsens are best when they’re together? They were collectively billed as “Mary Kate Ashley Olsen” for their breakout role on Full House and their production company’s name–Dualstar–reflects their joint appeal and success. And oh, what a gift that was. The company, founded in 1993, produced all of their twin-tastic movies, including It Takes Two, Billboard Dad, Our Lips Our Sealed and New York Minute. In their 26-year career, they have also starred on two twinny TV shows, posed for Badgley Mischka ads, and started multiple fashion lines, including the CFDA-winning The Row. With a fashion empire worth over $1 billion, we can (mostly) forgive them for their pursed-lip smiles and wacky homeless-chic taste.
