Mary-Kate Olsen

Birth Date: June 13, 1986
Birth Place: Sherman Oaks, Calif.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are known for their signature style, but the twins were first famous as Michelle Tanner on Full House. Before turning 10, they had already earned millions, and at 18, took charge of their billion-dollar brand, Dualstar.

In 2004, Mary-Kate battled anorexia, later ending her studies at New York University. Soon after, the New York Times dubbed her a fashion star, and she modeled couture with her sister Ashley for Badgley Mischka before launching their fashion line, The Row. Today, Mary-Kate travels between L.A. and New York to pursue her acting career, which includes a recurring role on the Showtime series Weeds.
