I have to do a school project for the subject English. We have to choose a famous person and do a biography about her/him. Who do you think I did about?
Mary-Kate and Ashley of course!
So, like I already have the work to search about them, here it is their biography and a lot of good photos. I just hope to
have a good grade, ahah :P


Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

"My very first school project was on the 5th grade and it was to talk about someone famous we liked. I did it about the twins Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.
Now, some years after I have to make the same school project and I choose to do about them again. Why? At the time I liked them because of the films that they made. However now they’re mine and other people’s fashion icons.
Mk and Ashley were born on June 13th in 1986 in Sherman Oaks, CA, so right now they’re 23 years old. The Olsen twins started their careers at 9 months of age in a TV show called “Full House” where they were the same character. After that, they performed in a lot of movies and TV series such as “It Takes Two” (1995), “When in Rome” (2002), “The Challenge” (2003), “Two of a Kind” (1998-1999) and “So little Time” (2001-2002) just to name a few.
In 2004 the twins worked on their last film together, “New York Minute”. The film was a failure and the twins decided to go finish school, they studied in New York University but MK decided to leave. She was seen very often smoking, drinking and skinnier so the media talked about it a lot until finally MK went to a rehabilitation program with anorexia.
More recently Mary-Kate shot the film “The Wackness” (2008), took part in the TV series “Weeds” (2007) and in “Samantha Who? (2008).
She is currently shooting the film “Beastly” (2010) and is in a stage with the celebrated photographer Annie Leibovitz. Her sister Ashley is working with the fashion designer Zac Posen and the two have just launched a book, named Influence.
Both of the girls are seen as fashion icons, and they already launched their own fashion line, called “The Row”. They also act as muses and co-designers on “Elizabeth and James” collection. They are seen in a lot of runways shows and fashion events and because of the way that they dress Mary-Kate and Ashley are very spoken by fashion bloggers. However there has been a boycott in relation to the twins, the PETA institution launched a campaign against MK and Ashley because of their use of fur and leather, so not everyone likes them."
