Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Through The Years: Then & Now Photos of the Sisters

The Olsen twins became two of Hollywood’s most iconic women, even after they retired from acting. See photos of them here.

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen were born in 1986 and one year later, they were cast in the role as baby Michelle Tanner on the ABC sitcom Full House. The girls switched off the part, as babies could only be used for a short amount of filming time.

Fans watched as they grew into young girls as the show aired from 1987-1995. As the girls entered their teens, they starred in a number of direct to video and television movies through their production company Dualstar Entertainment. Their titles include Passport to Paris, (1999), Our Lips Are Sealed (2000), Winning London (2001), Getting There (2002), and When in Rome (2002) and the theatrical release New York Minute (2004). The films and other video related Olsen Twins items helped make the teens multi-millionaires.

By 2012, the Olsen twins decided to retire from acting to focus on fashion design. The ladies have several different labels and different price points. Check out the gallery to see their photos!
