The two shared the role, taking turns on screen.

Stamos said at a press event that the girls cried too much, so he briefly had them replaced.

“So it was, ‘All right, invite the Olsen twins back.’

That’s the story.”

Surprisingly, it was Stamos who saved the day, insisting that both Mary-Kate and Ashley be kept.

With their lawyer, they set up Dualstar Entertainment in 1993, as noted byReference for Business.

Films produced by Dualstar include “It Takes Two” and “Passport to Paris.”

She and Mary-Kate decided to head to New York City for college.

Today, The Row is a full-fledged luxury fashion label.

The brand has come a long way from its humble origins.

It’s understandable that Ashley didn’t want to revisit that time of her life.

As she toldMarie Claire, her entire empire made her rather uncomfortable.

“Mary-Kate and I never really wanted our names on a bunch of different things,” she said.

“It wasn’t us it never felt like us.”

She said, “There’s a lot of compromise in the entertainment industry.”

Now that the tables have turned, Ashley doesn’t seem to begrudge her little sister hogging the spotlight.

That hard work has paid off big time.

That’s certainly enough for retirement, but Ashley isn’t resting on her laurels.

“I’ve always been a worker,” she said.

“It has taken me a lot to figure out how to take a vacation.”
