OLSEN TWINS (MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY) BIOGRAPHY

True OLSEN TWINS. Mary-Kate and Ashley.

"Our friends and teacher communicate with us as with ordinary teens", agreed Ashley.
Girls go for a walk, wait for new films' release and enjoy listening to music. They learn to play the piano but refuse to play football. They sometimes have failures at school and with boys. They like N'Sync's songs and go at concerts with friends.
Mary-Kate and Ashley were born on June 13, 1986 (Ashley is 2 minutes older). They grew at the suburb of Los-Angeles with their brother Trent; he is 2 years older and their sister Elizabeth. She is 3 years younger. Their parents are divorced and children had to divide for some time to be sometimes with mother and sometimes with father. Their father Dave is a broker. Their mother Jarnette performs with ballets in Los-Angeles.

"Trent is a typical elder brother", said Kate. "He helps us with homework, likes to be our observer and looks after us. But he teases us all the time! He draws very well and goes for sport. He plays football, baseball and basketball. And he also likes computer games very much".

"Lizzie is our younger sister. She does everything by herself and so she is very independent. She likes to act plays at school. And she began to learn actor's skill professionally".
Besides Mary-Kate and Ashley have small sister and brother from the second marriage of their father with Mackenzie Olsen. Tailor is 2 and a half years old and Jake is one and a half year old.

"It's great when there are small children because you can play with them", says Ashley. "We always help our father to look after children"
They have their own fashion line, but what styles do they prefer?

"None", says Mary-Kate. "I like eclecticism when everything is mixed." And Ashley says "I wear not only the latest fashion. Sometimes I put on things that were in vogue 2 years ago. The main thing is that my clothes should suit my mood at that moment".
They are often asked about their similarities and differences. How do people distinguish them?
"It's very simple", says Mary-Kate. "I have a little mole on my right cheek and Ashley has the same but on her chin. I'm a lefthander and Ashley is normal."

So they are 19 years old and they have already become millionaires. But they are not frightened.
"Why we should be frightened?" says Mary-Kate. "We worked hard to make this money. We started to play at the age of 7 months and even then we were recognized by audience."
They play in films; they publish books and magazines, release videogames… What will be next?
"At that time we like to play very much", says Ashley. "But it can't be excluded that some time later we won't be on the other side of the movie camera. Let's say as producers."
As they have got driving license they would like to travel all around the world. But do they have a place they would never go to?
Mary-Kate says "Of course there is such place! A dentist's cabinet!" Ashley adds "She read my mind!"
