Mary-Kate in New York Minute

Mary-Kate Olsen (born 13 June 1986 in Sherman Oaks, California, USA is an American actress who has appeared in television and films since the age of 3 months. She has a near-identical twin, (actually fraternal twin), Ashley Olsen.

She also has a new book series named Mary-Kate And Ashley In Action, where they are portrayed as secret spies, and has since been made into an animated series.

On May 15, 2004, the girls co-hosted the season finale of Saturday Night Live.

Trivia[edit]

Mary-Kate accidentally crashed into her bodyguard's car on May 21, 2004, when her brakes failed on a jammed Los Angeles freeway, and she could not stop in time to avoid crashing into his car. No one was injured in the accident.

On June 22, 2004, it was revealed that Mary-Kate had entered a rehabilitation program for the eating disorder anorexia nervosa. Gossip had swirled for months that her appearance was more and more drawn, but the actress and her management refused to discuss the issue. She herself had poked fun at the rumors on an episode of Saturday Night Live, which she had hosted with Ashley. In this episode, Ashley, posing as a photographer, yelled to "Mary-Kate", "You're too skinny! Eat a sandwich!!"

Rumors started swirling that Mary-Kate had also attempted suicide, the headlines accompanied by a photograph of a scar on her wrist.

It was reported, on July 7, that the Olsens' participation in the Got Milk campaign would be cancelled, mainly due to Mary-Kate's illness. The ad in which they would have appeared read, in part: "we want our fans to be healthy".

The same day, rumors began to spring that Mary-Kate was rehabilitating for a cocaine addiction, contrary to the previous rumors of her having anorexia.

The Strange Truth About Twins questions the supposed fact that they are fraternal twins, citing that just because they are different-handed, doesn't mean they have different genetics [1].

They are currently studying at New York University at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study.

The two girls, as of March 2005, are going through some turmoil, living separately and hardly seeing each other, at least until their apartment is finished. Mary-Kate is doing an internship for credit, with photographer Annie Leibovitz.

The twins received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in April 2004 [2]. They are reported to be worth $150 million each [3].

In the episode of Family Guy "Fifteen Minutes of Shame", the Olsen twins replaced Brian and Stewie in the show-within-a-show The Real Live Griffins.

Though both have become style icons, Mary-Kate dresses more boho- (also called homeless-)chic. Both are known for wearing a large number of accessories, and large sunglasses.
