Even though we all came to know and love Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen from their acting careers, which began on Full House and continued to a series of ridiculous straight-to-video movies that were so amazing I can’t even begin, the most famous twins in the world are turning their backs on showbusiness to focus full-time on their thriving fashion lines.

I suppose I would retire at 25 as well if I was already worth over a billion dollars and I was the head designer of multiple outrageously popular lines, including The Row and Elizabeth and James. Ashley recently confided to British Elle, stating, ”I wanted to work on other things. It doesn’t mean I’m not interested in Hollywood. I like the way it operates, I like the people who are involved and the sense of possibility. But if I ever get back in, it’s not going to be as an actress.”

Mary-Kate agreed with her sister, saying, “It just felt right to move away.” Since they have left, their younger sister Elizabeth has taken the acting reins, and is one of the most buzzed about actresses in Hollywood. While the Olsens move on to bigger and better things, let’s take a moment to remember their illustrious film careers. What was your favorite flick starring the twins? Mine was Holiday in the Sun. Hands. Down.

  1. We love Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen? Hmm. News to me. I’ve never considered them with anything but the most powerful apathy I could muster.

  2. Pookie2b200 says:

    Can’t leave a comment without #>*+_)(*  insinuated!  I love them too but that is trash typing!  The Olsen twins have given a lot of kids, adults enjoyment in fun family movies with their kids and grandkids.  The best to them and you commentary was ruined with the unnessary trash added!  They’ll always be good memories for our family…..not weirdo types!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Arlingtonbear says:

       Then send them some food, they always look like they need a bite to eat!

    • Sherri3030 says:

      I agree. Envy makes people say the meanest things. I like the girls and my girls like them. We still have to watch Full House!!!! Even though they are not my children I can’t help but be proud of them!!

    • WriterGuy10 says:

      Cats dancing on piano keys have also brought millions joy and laughter, but I wouldn’t call that acting, either. Even with all the movies, I don’t understand how they got to be so rich so young. A total mystery.

  3. Robyno322 says:

    The credibility of this piece was totally negated by the last sentence.  Spencer Cain, you need to realize that if you want to be taken seriously, you can not make inapproriate comments such as your last one. ”Hands down” would have been much more effective with the general population. 

    • that’s pretty old fashioned,this isnt an 8th grade essay.If you can’t handle an F word..well..then I dont know about you.

      • Deron Reid says:

        And just because you can, does not mean you should. So you are correct, this is not 8th grade, this is adulthood. We will all welcome you when you get here.

      • 5foot1 says:

         Oh yes.  It’s very adult to use vulgarities.  Give me an eighth-grader with a full vocabulary any day over an adult (maybe) who must resort to profanity because of limited language skills.

      • I don’t see any profanity in the article. Did they go back and change the article and take out an F word?? What did I miss here? Lol

    • Mosleyharoldjr says:

      The credibility of this piece was ruined when they proposed to suggest that the twins were actresses.

  4. Jim Goodsend says:

    I wouldn’t call what they have done previously as acting…..

  5. bluewaterbk says:

    Won’t act again?  I’m sorry, I must have missed something.  When did they ever act?

  6. MissV says:

    Mr. Cain, you misspelled “reins”, as “reigns” – shame on you, a writer should know better.

  7. Mot says:

    I wish them good luck with their fashion designs, but, personally, I would not wear their stuff. I think it all looks horrible.

  9. Guitara says:

    If I live a million years, I’ll never understand how either of these whackjobs got anyone to ever pay them a penny…

  10. Lee Valey says:

    Ha
    When did they dig up the cryptkeeper?

  13. uglydude says:

    Well, I guess seeing them in porn isn’t going to happen. Maybe Lindsey Lohan?

  14. ToyaMatthew says:

    Now, all cooked box office accounting and marketing trolls aside, if only we can get America to actually go to

  15. cathy says:

    my daughter is now 21…. but we would watch their shows every day and some nights and YES even the marathons……
    Hope they are going to be happy doing what they want… GOD knows they dont need money like the rest of us…..
    so good luck to them and glad My daughter got to grow up watching them and there was a lesson to be learned in every episode… loved to watch and i am 48…..

  16. Weaselcluber says:

    Oh my God!!! This is such a tragedy!!! How is Hollywood going to survive this? Looks like from here out we can only expect rehashings of the Superman, Rocky, and Spiderman series.
    Guess the only thing left for anyone to do is pour a glass of wine, draw a wamt bath, crawl in and open a vein or two.

  17. I’m sorry but those girls are odd,  In almost every picture they look to be joined together like Cheng & Eng, the famous Siamese twins from the early 1900′s.  And they usually look like they’re carrying the weight of the world on those small, hunched over shoulders.  They so rarely look happy.  
    Gee, I’m sure sad about that acting thing, I guess the Oscar will be up for grabs now that the girls will no longer be starring in all those fabulous movies they’re so well known for…..sigh, life must go on.

  19. LaChef says:

    Who cares what a couple of useless fur whores do really?  They have no class, no compassion. They are uneducated useless white trash. Despite being educated about the horrors of animals being skinned alive, they’re simply too hateful and useless to listen–and too  dead inside to care. What they do or don’t do isn’t news unless they decide to grow a heart.

  20. Vabelle says:

    Good luck to them on their future endeavors.  But I only have one question: what is that pursed smile all about?  I’ve noticed it on every one of their photos, don’t know which of the sisters it is.  But it looks stupid.  She should think about how it comes off.

  21. Lady Dragonfly says:

    they look like zombies!  what’s with the black eyes??

  22. MackenzieLem says:

    that were so amazing I can’t even begin, the most famous twins in the
    world are turning their backs on showbusiness to focus full-time on
    their thriving fashion lines.

  23. CherlyParent says:

    Can’t leave a comment without #>*+_)(*  insinuated!  I love them too
    but that is trash typing!  The Olsen twins have given a lot of kids,

  24. Mase Wehrle says:

    I read this just to make sure this wasnt a rumor and in fact legit :D

  27. larrys says:

    Tragic!?  I say good, they have all the money they will ever need and no talent.

  28. David says:

    Didn’t Mary-Kate have something to do with Heath Ledger’s death?

  29. KalaWylie says:

    Mary-Kate agreed with her sister, saying, “It just felt right to move away.” Since they have left, their younger siste

  30. Jazmin Himes says:

    Even though we all came to know and love Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen from their acting

  31. Marion Haste says:

    Doesn’t AGAIN imply that they acted before?

  32. Hotstuff48 says:

    These fine young women are probably the best thing that has happened to the film industry.  The talent they posses is far more than such people as Meryl Streep, John Travolta, Denzel Washington, and the list goes on for days.  They’ve accomplished so much at such a young age.  They are the perfect role model for young women all across the world.

    • Harold Mosley says:

      Wooooow…..”…They are the perfect role model for young women all across the world.” : Either this is a bit of genius sarcasm above me or……..

  33. Arlingtonbear says:

    Didn’t realize that they could act.  I saw them on Full House and a few video productions.  Acting is to good a verb to be wasted on them!

  34. Barb says:

    Did they ever act before these two are so seriously sad , Dont kill yourselves u r not worth it.

  35. Jim Olson says:

    How exactly is this tragic?

    • Number Six says:

      Missed opportunities are always tragic. Since they haven’t acted before, and won’t act “again”, that means they missed their opportunity to act.

      See? :D

  36. Jim Olson says:

    Good lord, I could create a better fashion look from the local thrift store.  

  37. Downbelow says:

    Who cares?!!!

  38. Radioguy541 says:

    So, whoever said they could act in the first place?

  39. Cahokamite says:

    they would fit right in with Twilight cast since they always look so ghoulish and pale.

  40. CMitch1706 says:

    I don’t even like them and hate the way they don’t smile…..stupid looking and glad to hear they have moved on.

  41. How is this TRAGIC???
    And it should read that they just don’t WANT to act anymore, not that they won’t act again.
    Why are these two in the media so much anyway? What are they doing that is so great?

  42. C.D. says:

    These two nut jobs always look like they have one foot in the grave, and the other foot on scene in a zombie flick.  The one on the right must have a closet full of table cloths, and the one on the left fills her hangers with drab clothes that she could be refrigerated in at the morgue.  Why do people think they know anything about fashion?  Perhaps they should look into buying a cemetary, because they look like they would be great funeral directors.

  43. RCMANOH says:

    OH THANK YOU DEAR LORD.

  44. relyoncommonsense says:

    WHO CARES?????

  45. 5Ellen5 says:

    WHO CARES?????

  46. Once in a while reader says:

    They look like anorexic witches, and the clothes look like something you would see hanging on a sale rack in Walmart.  With their money, they need to fire their make-up artist, hire a new one and learn about fashion.  I can see how they chose to refrain from acting, what they did as toddlers was bounce around like spoiled little brats and dote on anyone who thought they were cute and adorable.

  47. Sentinelgirl says:

    I like the one where they ran away from home but they couldn’t cross the street so they just went around the block!

  48. Krd4pbd says:

    Wow, lot’s of unpleasant comments.  Perhaps what the girls did as munchkins wasn’t the depths of “acting”, however it did amuse many innocent children and there was no fulgarity.  I knew my kids could watch Mary_Kate and Ashely and thye would not hear any foul words, or suggested behavior.  They were on a kids program for goodness sakes, not trash tv!

  49. CINDY TINGLE says:

    IT’S NOT LIKE THEY NEED THE MONEY!!!

  50. Rwebb38 says:

    I dont know about anyone else, but as I set and watch my grandchildrens faces as they watch the Olsen twins movies. Its good to know there are some people in Hollywood who has a positive effect in the lives of younger children. I give them 5 stars for keeping their private lives private and staying mostly out of trouble with law enforcement officials.

    • star of the famous says:

      they gave their younger sister cocaine when she was under 10, and both are pot heads.  any of the movies they made as children were NOT their decision to make.  there is nothing special about either of them.

  51. Daisymax says:

    Their family type movies were good but personal life seemed to suck a lot until they come up with the fashions which only skinny under nourished kids with overindulgent parents could wear or afford. Their personal appearance is scary.  Black eyeliner like zombies is going out of fashion soon I hope.

    • star of the famous says:

      the only “fashion line” i remember of their’s was sold at walmart.  was/is there another one?

  52. Frank Enstein says:

    Why would  anyone really care? They have always seemed too self absorbed and in their own little world. I find them creepy in the deepest sense on the word.

  53. Worldgma says:

    How is this a tragedy? Gain some perspective before using inflationary prose. This is, at most, mildly interesting, and then only to those who do not understand what real life is.

  54. star of the famous says:

    they have no talent, as their past reflects.  that they are still even being interviewed is “tragic”.

  55. slong3 says:

    Why is it “tragic”?  They haven’t acted in a long time, and have never shown any skill or talent for it.  They just kinda fell into the first role and parlayed it into something better for themselves.   In short, don’t really care whether they ever act again. 

  56. illette says:

    Why do they always pose as if they are conjoined twins? I find that so odd. And why do they always look as if they are ready to cry?

  57. T. says:

    Sarcasm People.  Sarcasm.  

  58. Duke Fawcett says:

    Hooking pays better

  59. Zephrah says:

    Most of their pictures look like they’re Siamese twins.

  60. Scott says:

    Forget these two – they always look like a couple of scared raccoon’s, with those rings you always see around their eyes.  They’re probably both on dope.

    Speaking of which, as annoying as “Stephanie” (Jodie Sweetin) was, it’s good to know she kicked crystal meth and wrote a book about her experience.  

  61. Pants says:

    Ew…they look like heroin addicts. Or crack whores. Take your pick.

  62. 1smarty says:

    They look like they have had cosmetic surgery.

  63. Flatline686 says:

    Tragic?  TRAGIC?  Cut me a friggin break Spencer Cain.

  64. Judy Harders says:

    They don’t need more money and they aew minimally talented as grownup actors. I say, smart move !

  65. Madeline Glass says:

    It doesn’t mean I’m not interested in Hollywood.

    this is almost as bad as yoko ono announcing that she will never sing again…:)

  67. tenda says:

    they look strung out on that shit look at they eyes!!!!!!!!!!! SCARY…. BUT IF I HAD IT I WILL TO RELAX AN CONTINUE TO MAKE THAT$$$$$$$$$ ON MY ASS

  68. FrankSinatra says:

    They need to do laps at the drive thru at McDonalds

  69. Shayemessenger says:

    even though they may not look that good, they sure did save me a lot of home work when i was younger. Our teacher would let us watch their little adventures when we ran out of stuff to do in class. I loved that show then, and their style then as well. They aparently have made better decisions then some of the young ladies who are acting today, for instance, hannah montana, selena gomez, ashley tisdale, and lots lots more. I would much rather have them as my daughters idols now, then what television has to offer these days. My own opinion I think there make up is quiet cute, and its not how they appear on the out side, its how they are on the inside that matters.

  70. Marjorie Hiltner says:

    I always looked at them as though they were undercover agents or spies from some other country.  They always pose so close together to make one think they are Siamese twins.  These girls are creepy creepy!  So long to some more unknowns in our world. 

  71. Sheila0229 says:

    I wouldn’t use the word “tragic.”  Very bad headline

  72. Me! says:

    How is this “tragic”? It’s not like they were ever great at acting, like Meryl Streep or Al Pacino!  They did kids videos and that obnoxious show Full House. And, I’m sorry, but I never thought they were cute. Some people think all babies/kids are cute. These two were not. Somehow I think Hollywood will be just fine without them!

  73. Smd524 says:

    They acted? Really? That’s what you called it?

  74. funny photos says:

    the most famous twins in the world are turning their backs on showbusiness to focus full-time on their thriving fashion lines.

  75. ScottC says:

    They never acted. They were toddlers doing what they were told to do by the director.

  76. Staxrecords says:

    They would make good replacements for the twins in the Shining if they ever do a remake

  77. WD says:

    NOOOOOO…. NOOOOOO…..NOOOOO…..(Hysterical Crying) NOOOOOOO…….NO, , NO , NO , NO , NO,  NO, NO (Nervous Breakdown)  NO HOHO HO HO HO…..hhhhhhhhhhooooooo….(quiet sobbing followed by dry heaving)  and…..NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  78. Sarah Smith says:

    Drugs are bad for you.

  79. When did they start acting?

  80. shakes says:

    These two remind me of the twins in Kurt Vonnegut’s book Slapstick.  Once these two retire to their lairs, I swear they morph into one body. Maybe a spider body. They are ugly, creepy weirdies. I don’t know why they are photographed or their style noted. It’s a horrible, heroin induced look. Yuck, yuck, yuck. 

  81. Eric Yi says:

    probably will go down as the most famous twins of all time 

  82. Dave Boyer says:

    Anorexic ? Bulimic ? 

  83. rlmcanoe says:

    I enjoyed the show full house and thought they were cute, i’m glad they are both doing well in business and in life and wish them well with their venture.

  84. Dedbuneez says:

    It’s really not tragic – their actually doing us a favor.

  85. ChelleKaye says:

    Wow. I never thought they would be loved by everyone but the few comments that I read are quite rude. The Olsen girls are quite lovely and always have been. I think that it is very nice they have gone into fashion and off the screen as they have some good talent.

  86. Safroniailaws says:

    They to me when you look at them  it make you say (I AM HER AND SHE IS ME.).they made some cute tv show which we need more of today..people these are grown women now and i wish i had that kind of life to be just comfortable and not striving,no matter what most people think they are their own strong women..two strong women…and the weight thing let them handle it,i am over 50yr old..stop if you can’t say nothing nice than dont say anything..good luck Kate and Ashley S.I.L

  87. justanotherperson says:

    I guess being mean and nasty and putting people down makes some feel better about themselves.  How sad.  what are you doing with your lives?  I hate reading forums about anyone because they are all like this, but here I am.  what a sad world we live in.  I was always taught to find the good in people and encourage them in their endeavors.  It amazes me how nasty  people have become.

  88. Guest says:

    Wow it seems that people just negatively comment about everything on this site. If I was MK and Ash I wouldn’t want to act any more now that they are in charge of their own careers instead of their parents they can decide what to do career wise. Glad they chose fashion and hopefully one day we will get to seem them as directors or producers of amazing movies.

  89. Steve75g says:

    They’ve gotten to look like methheads in a lot of makeup

  90. Myp485 says:

    They look so scary! Yikes. They have that anorexic half-dead look. 

  91. Ned says:

    The two girls in two girls and a cup have more talent than these two wackadoos.

  92. Dennis McGrath says:

    Tragic?  That the Olsens won’t ever act again/  Not really.  Haiti is tragic.  Hunger in America, especially for kids.  Tornados that leave thousands homeless.  The huge numbers of unemployed men and women in this the richest country in America.  Those are all tragic.  Mary-Kate and Ashley and their millions?  Not tragic.  No editing?  WHo writes your headlines?

  93. They were in movies?  Hmmm..

  94. jeannie says:

    i am so disapointed…really now…go away and take your little sister, who can’t act either, with you….

  95. jim reinheimer says:

    i agree there alot more tragic things than this!!!

  96. LittleMissCantBeWrong says:

     I fear you are unfamiliar with the concept of sarcasm

  97. Antelope says:

    Didn’t they look like little troll dolls when they were babies?

  98. Malice212 says:

    Wait.. they were still acting?

  99. Gmtparker says:

    It is amusing to me when you state the obvious (they have zero “acting” talent) that people assume you are just being mean or “trash talking”.  I too was grateful for Barney because my kids loved him and it gave me a few moments to myself.  However, he could not act either.  Kids will watch just about anything.  At least put on some Warner Brothers and show them what true talent and creativity is about.  I have to be concerned when parent really believes this is talent. 

  100. Otischewbacca says:

    Them not acting again, not seeing their scrony emaicated bodies any more oh boo hoo I think I can live with out that. Besides they couldn’t act anyway

  101. nicmart says:

    The is the worst show biz news since the death of Liz Taylor. Such an artistic loss.

  102. Loves_soups says:

    They couldn’t act to begin with. And they both need to brush their hair. Seriously, that rat-chewed on look is gross.

  103. Pdo says:

    Good!  Know they can get their bug eyes fixed

  104. AuntieFatCat says:

    I didn’t know they were ever considered to be actors.
    I thought they were just two anorexic alien lifeforms who hypnotized photographers into taking their picture by staring hypnotically into the lens in a vain attempt to communicate…something.
    Hunger, I suspect.

  105. They have a reptilian quality to them that I find repulsive.

  106. GirlgirlATL says:

    They could both benefit from a session with stacey and Clinton, which prefaces my question..who decided they were designers???Morticia Adams or maybe Cousin It?

  107. Pingcarm says:

    They were cute kids… really cute. Other than that, it’s hard to put a judgement on them when they most likely have not had one truly “authentic, real people” day in their lives. It would seem sad that they may have not experienced the kind of normalcy most people have in life. I would imagine that most would envy them for that. Just a thought.

  108. JJ99 says:

    I was kind of obsessed with them when I was little. Now looking back, I have NO idea what possessed me. Good marketing perhaps? 

  109. Mike says:

    Is this guy serious?  “Amazing” movies?  AND a favorite?  How gay is that?!

  110. Pattyj44 says:

    They look like they belong in a concentration camp

  111. PatricParamedic says:

    I’m not sure how I’ll get along without them.

    But starting tomorrow, I’m gonna try.

  112. PatricParamedic says:

    Not to worry, fans. They’ll make a huge splash in the press when they return.

    When it comes to our feminine heroines, we just can’t seem to get enough of that twin, horror-show, cadaver look.

     

  113. Tracihadleykime says:

    I personally like Mary-Kate and Ashley.  If anyone remembers, when they were 7 years old, they were made owners of DualStar that’s why they’re BILLIONAIRES.

    Give them a break.

    I thought they were cute in Full House and did a good job at acting. 

    My daughter loved Full House when she was younger and still watches it today at 20 years old.

    All you haters need to go away.  You must’ve found something interesting to comment you MORONS.

  114. Chris says:

    They were ugly babies that grew up to be ugly women along with their matching clothing. It would be nice not to see them on TV anymore. However, one thing is true. They have a hell of a lot more money than I do so more power to you.

  115. Nevervoteneverpaytax says:

    wasnt aware they ever had acted.  must have been an outtake

  116. Mrspaceset says:

    My daughters grew up watching Full House.  Although I often sat and watched the show with them, I always wondered why these girls managed to stay on that show for so long.  They had no acting skills and I never thought they were very cute.  They sounded as though they were told what to say and when to say it…robotic.  As for their millions/billions of dollars, all I can say is that they did have great marketers/managers during their career.  As designers,  well…I would never purchase anything they designed.  I could go to Good Will and get the same old lady/old man homeless look there for  just a couple of bucks.

  117. Sistracey36 says:

    THESE GIRLS TURNED INTO LIKE MOST CHILD STARS:”WEIRD”…THEY LOOK WEIRD AND ACT WEIRD, AND SEEM TO ONLY WANT TO BE AROUND WEIRD PEOPLE… MY KIDS LOVED WATCHING THEM ON T.V….

    BUT IT IS A SHAME THAT IF THEY GROW UP IN OR AROUND HOLLYWOOD, THEY EITHER DIE EARLY IN LIFE, HAVE SOME KIND OF ADDICTION OR TURN OUT TO BE FREAKISHLY WEIRD….

    ONLY A FEW MANAGED TO ESCAPE THE SOUL-DRAIN OF HOLLYWOOD TO BECOME RESPECTABLE PEOPLE, WHO IN TURN BECOME RESPECTABLE SPOUSES AND PARENTS….

    THOUGH I WISH THEM ALL THE LUCK IN THEY’RE LIFE’S…

  118. Harry says:

    I have news for them.  They have never been actresses.

  119. Harry says:

    I commented below based on the headline, but I scrolled back up and looked at the attached picture and have to comment. How can they look that terrible and not be on life support?

  120. spaniellover says:

    This is not tragic. Tragic is all the people being killed in Syria or all the babies dying in Africa.

  121. CEDUPZ says:

    Who are these two cadavers? 

  122. Guest says:

    I’m so fed up with seeing “anorexic” being thrown around as a character insult…or even drug addiction for that matter. You’d NEVER use a cancer patient’s illness as an insult to someone….sounds like we have some bitter fat asses here. They’re talentless hacks, spoiled brats who have never worked for anything, had everything handed to them on a silver platter their whole live with grand opportunities most people can only dream of and are yet unappreciative with no personality whatsoever…but I guess anything to make a lard feel better. They’re five feet tall and thin. If you wanna see emaciated I invite you to see the things I’ve seen.

  123. Derith Ross says:

    they were not cute on full house. That hasnt changed.

  124. Derith Ross says:

    they were not cute in fullhouse and it hasnt changed.

  125. Alan Harris says:

    It would be nice to see them smile once in a while.  Are they really that unhappy?   

  126. Bwin51 says:

    Why they ever were in acting in the first place is beyond me.  Sometimes I think all you have to be is blond to make it in show business.

  127. Christopher Holland says:

    WHEN DID THEY AT BEFORE?

  128. Beth R Willinger says:

    They remind me of those big eyed kid prints from the sixties…. I didn’t care for those things either. No bid loss.

  129. Beth Blas'e says:

    They were so ugly as  babies I could never figure out how they were not immediately ordered to leave the studio when their  hollywood parents  broght them in  for  an audition on Full House. They looked exactly like Troll’s.. Remember those dolls…

  130. Cpatt58 says:

    At least these two know when to quit, unlike the majority of non-talent idiots who are lionized as “stars”. They are the most depressing looking women I have ever seen Whatever “talent” they had quickly evaporated the older they got. I applaud them for leaving. Common sense says they cannot compete with the current crop of idiots gracing the silver screen.

  131. Cpatt58 says:

    My goodness you are so right! I forgot about the trolls! All I had to do is picture them in my head to help me laugh. They really have no talent and was smart enough to start their own business before it caught up to them.

  132. Soy_el_Guapo says:

    Someone grew up to get out of Hollywood.  Way to go!

  133. Abdb2008 says:

    They are still too young to say “Never” to anything.

  134. Rusty Shackleford says:

    If this was 1945, I would think they were Jewish and just escaped Dachau! You would think with all their money they would be able to afford to eat! Also, they own a clothing line, so why is the one twin wearing a polka dotted shower curtain?

  135. Plucia777 says:

    SAD – SAAAAD !!! LITTLE RICH GIRLS–seems to me – that it is true, money doesn’t buy ‘HAPPINESS’  every time you see their pics their eyes are so filled with sadness, even if they are putting on an  act and smiling you can see right through them 

  136. Cjhvizdos says:

    These two look like raccoons that need to be fed.  Not sure what’s so stylish about that?

  137. Cindylou Huff says:

    They look like two bag ladies  and there clothing line Textiles looks the same. Clothing for bag ladies. LOL

  138. Tony says:

    What’s tragic is they will pose in those sucked in cheek freaky photos about a billion more times… :-(

  139. Amy Marrero says:

    Ya’ll are like… mean.

  140. Sara says:

    it’s called a vagina!

  141. Smart Com says:

    They look like 2 little girls trying on big girl dresses from the dress-up trunk.

  142. Vtx_lovers says:

    Why must they always pose so close together? Kinda creepy.

  143. DISQUS says:

    These 2 are the creepiest twins I’ve ever seen… and the way they cling to each other suggests they are a bit closer than just sisters.  The only word that comes to mind when i see these 2 is ‘weird’.

  144. Tara Stacey says:

    Being 21 now, I was a HARDCORE far of the Olsen twins back in the 90s. I was a member of their fan club and still, to this day, own many many many of their movies on VHS! In fact, I just watched It Takes Two the other day with my 7-year-old sister – and she loved it as much as I did – and still do!

  145. Yasman says:

    ARE YOU PEOPLE SEROIUS ABOUT THIS>  WHO CARES

  146. Dorothypolizzi says:

    If you can’t say something nice about someone, don’t say anything at all.

  147. Wes Craske says:

    Imagine growing up in a fake world that becomes your reality. That these young ladies have done terrific things with their young lives; I wish them well in their new work and lives.

  148. Frank Duval says:

    This is no tragedy. They were just babies, not actresses. When they were old enough to act, they made terrible movies. They lucked out and got into making clothes.

    Good for them…

  149. Barry L Alexander says:

    Good for them, as you grow up your goals sometimes change.  They apparently are wealthy enough to do as they please.  That is true success.

  150. roy says:

    heck they could be cast as zombies or something from that spaceship hiding in the rings of saturn

  151. Dale C Scott says:

    They have developed into the SKELETOR sisters.  They may have been “cute” to many who watched them as babies (certainly NOT actors), but they have become nothing more than “EX” actresses who have at least had the good sense to save their earnings and develop lines of clothing which will no doubt set trends in Hollywood and other such arenas of “fashion”. 

  152. Sarcasticvixen says:

    I am happy they are billionaires but do they have to be anorexic as well? come on you make enough money to eat girls gain 20lbs and you would be super healthy…….getting your clothes at baby gap not attractive my 7 year old neice has more of a figure then you two be role models and stop using your screwed up childhoods to keep up your obvious eating issues

  153. Ff33dw says:

    i lovu both i want to sex wiy please discreetly set it up the sex with of ur life

  154. Blair_Bishop says:

    Not tragic………prudent! The Olsen twins wereinfants, who became toddlers, while participating in the production of an inanesitcom. Full House was given a coveted Friday night time slot, providing the twinswith exposure to their ideal demographic/fan base. Had either of them possessedany acting ability whatsoever, they’d have been offered the proverbial redemptionrole by now & that hasn’t happened. 

    I was unaware that either of them possessed thetraining/qualifications/credentials to be “designers”. That could be because theirfashion sense is questionable at best.  Agazillion dollars & an army of stylists at their disposal & they’re stillnot publicly presentable.  I suspect theOlsen Twins’ involvement in their Chinese-made Wal-Mart fashions is limited to ”Ooohhh…….melikey!” and “That’s sooo pretty.”  Kudosto their parents & business managers for building an empire out of nothing!

  155. phaydra says:

    I was in a thrift store yesterday and came across a skirt from there Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen line that use to sell at Wal-Mart.  I immediately thought maybe I should get this it’ll be vintage in a few years.  I fortunately passed on the skirt, but maybe if it’s still there when I go back…

  156. Carrot says:

    Thank you!  There is a god after all!

  157. the person says:

    I was going to say opossums…or maybe more appropriately, a ring tailed lemur. 

  158. Kadandmom says:

    HAHAHA I literally Laughed Out Loud at this one…but I swear I haven’t read a more true comment…..LOL thankx a million for that!

  159. Ges0051 says:

    They are seriously calling this “tragic” are you kidding me? Who gives a sh*t.

  160. Cokadoodoo says:

    Yawohl!

  161. Shill611 says:

    They could be pretty but they dress too old for their age and their make-up, especially they eye makeup, is too heavy.  They sometimes look like they are in their 60′s. 

  162. Home says:

    They looked like they had Downs Syndrome when they were on Full House.

  163. Hitoots1968 says:

    puhleeeeez!!! tragic?? surely you jest!!! they were cute babies. now they are hideous looking! (they really cannot act)— oh for god’s sake. who gives a good crap anyway.

  164. Jpnuhfer says:

    TRAGIC !!!!!     Give me a  break  ….. a child being  born with a disability like spina bifida is tragic….. a family member dying of cancer is tragic.   Homes burning right now  in the  midwest is tragic..OUR SERVICE MEN COMING HOME FROM  THE WAR BROKEN AND PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY DAMAGED  …….. THIS IS TRAGIC !!!!!!!    I think this writer needs to look up the word tragic in a dictionary.

  165. Janie Dunlap says:

    It would be no loss if they quit acting.  Who wants to go see these two act when they murder innocent animals to make a profit??????

  166. Jonathan says:

    I miss them acting the really need to do it again and don’t quit.

  167. JJ says:

    Its tragic anyone pays them to act. 

  168. laura lee gonzalez says:

    they look half dead

  169. laura lee gonzalez says:

    they seriously need to eat some good food.and beside the media has backed of them..they havwe kardaisianstoo do

  170. WFAN Critic says:

     Sickly looking.

  171. Historianted says:

    Wow a lot of you people sure are jealous.

  172. Angela says:

    They are just girls that were able to do something positive with their life.  Its not a big deal but not worthy of being so angry about them.  Many stars have done a lot worse with their life they didn’t turn into whores or drug addicts one did suffer from anorexia but so have millions of non-actor related young ladies.  They were sweet little kids to watch and there is nothing wrong with that.  There are so many more things in life to be angry about just seems like a waste of your time and energy to be so negative to someone you know nothing about beside their name.

  173. Mikemichelle131 says:

    these 2 have never acted and even if they tried the paper bag would choke them…. really? Have a burger and gain 30 lbs!

  174. LABell says:

    They look like they have been playing dress up in clothes that are to big for them.

  175. LILLY says:

    THESE TWO GIRLS LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN UP FOR DAYS. NO SLEEP. NO NUTRITION, AND THEY PUT ON WHATEVER WAS IN THE PILE OF GOOD WILL’S REJECT CLOTHING. SORRY GIRLS, BUT YOU DO NOT REPRESENT STYLISH, HEALTHY, SMART GIRLS. YOU DESPERATELY NEED COMPLETE MAKEOVERS. I GUARANTEE YOU TWO WOULD DO SO MUCH BETTER IN WHAT YOU DO, WHATEVER YOU DO. THOSE WHO ARE ENCOURAGE YOU NOW, THEY ARE FULL OF CRAP WITH ‘THEIR’ OPINION, ADVICE. DO YOURSELVES A WISELY FAVOR AND MAKE THESE CHANGE’S.    DRESS THE PART, OF REAL WOMEN, REAL MAKEUP, HAIR, AND CLOTHING. I THINK YOU GIRL’S ALREADY KNOW THIS. I’M SURE COMMENTS FOR YOU TWO ARE MOSTLY, IF NOT ALL, NEGATIVE. WHAT I JUST SAID ABOVE…..THAT IS WHY!!!!

  176. Celticharp74 says:

    Style Icons?  Blech! More like anorectic bag ladies. 

  177. Cmcphee1965 says:

    You mean they acted in the past?  Oh, that horrible crap they did was called acting.  They are so useles, talentless, and freaky looking.  It shows how being success in America has nothing to do with hard work and  worth, just connections, seed money, help from others, and easy publicity.  The tragedy is that these horrible “actresses” took work away from some others who would have been much better.

  178. Ishkabibble says:

    “tragic”? Are you kidding me? When were they EVER actors? They couldn’t ACT worth a cr*p. They were twins on TV because they needed a baby in the role – these two were NEVER actors/actresses.

  179. geoh777 says:

    Nobody gets it at all. If they go out looking like normal young ladies, nobody recognizes them and they are not hounded. So, it works for them to publicly flaunt the bag-lady-in-a-bearskin-coat look.

  180. Ntan Family says:

    They are billionaires because their father is a business genius and lined up business deals like those straight to video movies and teenage bopper clothing lines when they were Tweens themselves. They were billionaires before they turned 18 because of him.

  181. guest says:

     they prob won’t live that long when you see their tiny little bodies constantly smoking 24/7, it’s ugly and a crappy image for anyone…

  182. The Crossing Guard says:

    I think the writer is being sarcastic

  183. The Crossing Guard says:

    If they won’t act, neither will I!

  184. PiperB says:

    Wow everyone is so mean. The made nice wholesome movies for kids and then got made fun of for it. Then they started smoking etc and that was wrong too. They can never win except in the financial area which is great for them. They get the last laugh.

  185. PiperB says:

    JPnuhfer like the other person said, they are being sarcastic. I don’t think you should be judging anyone if you could not figure that out!

  186. PiperB says:

    Frank they made wholesome movies for children that were very well loved. Of course you wouldn’t like them a) you are a guy b) you are not a child.

  187. PiperB says:

    Pookie I agree. None of these people should be judging anyone.

  188. madison34 says:

    That would be sarcasm lol. Did you read the article? I like them but I seem to be in the minority. Their billions contradict what people are saying.

  189. James says:

    wonder which one is better in the sack?

  190. Tux564 says:

    When could they act?

  191. Frank Pirro says:

    I know porn stars that are better actors that at least showed some tit!

  192. Thor says:

    Ugly pathetic scrawny little creatures.  Oh. And acting? They were human props. Fashion? ..Um, Really?

    Why don’t they fall into a pipe sticking out of the ground?

    They were VERY FORTUNATE to have such savvy financial guidance, for that I say HURRAY! But seriously,

  193. Thor says:

  194. alien says:

    was it just me, or did they not look like a Troll doll when they were little “actresses”?

  195. Jeff_Lebowski says:

    When did they start acting?

  196. SDL says:

    My daughter was the appropriate age when they made their movies, and she couldn’t stand them either.

  197. Hruthwulf says:

    they both have anime eyes.  If they fell of the planet tomorrow I don’t think anyone would even care.

  198. Rusty62 says:

    # 1, They need a good make up artist.#2. What in the world is going on with the clothes they are wearing ? If they designed them they may look into trying something else. I would not wear those clothes to a garage sale. Sorry girls.# 3. Smile.

  199. Lin says:

    They both look terrible…for two girls who were as beautiful as they were to look like they do is the real tragedy.  They have not acted for years..this should be no surprise.

  200. Karen Cooke Kofoet says:

    anorexic looking to me…that’s more tragic then them not acting again

  201. Athena Blakely says:

    You have got to be kidding! You either need to have your head examined or win an award for the best sarcasm in a post. You actually consider the Olsen twins to be great role models? We are talking about Mary Kate with her eating disorder / drug addiction issues and her sister Ashley who looks like she has a eating disorder too. Those two are your idea of a role model for a child. I hope you don’t have kids, especially daughters. Not only are they the last people in the world I want my daughter looking up to for anything they also can’t act. They ran around and looked cute and that was their claim to fame. If you actually think that what they did in their acting careers compares to the likes of Denzel Washington in movies like The Pelican Brief, The Preacher’s Wife, and John Q you are nuttier than they are. If you actually think they compare to Meryl Streep and her performances in SIlkwood, Out of Africa, and The Bridges of Madison County you need you head examined. For Mary Kate and Ashley to even be mentioned in the same sentence with Streep one would have to be showing just how poorly they acted in comparison to Streep.

  202. Dick Williams says:

    What happened to these girls that turned them so weird?  We can be thankful that they gave up acting since they look so sickly. Evidently all that money did not bring them happiness. Did the parents have a role in making them such sad looking creatures?  They remind me of the Bette Davis and Joan Crawford characters in the movie, Whatever Happened To Baby Jane.

  203. rachel says:

    2 serious powerhouses!

  204. Fae Cain says:

    Whew, thank goodness!!! Now if the rest of the talentless actors/actresses would follow suit we’d all feel so relieved.

  205. JaylikeBird says:

    Their weird, plastic faces freak me out a bit.

  206. JaylikeBird says:

    Christ. They look like Kolkata brothel rescues.

  207. Liquidscar920 says:

    good, maybe they can concentrate on being in a porno, NOW THAT’S something I’d watch with these two going at it , locked in a 69 position, gnawing at each others ‘freshly split cantilopes” :P

  208. Zangetsu says:

    there is a god !!

    they are not actresses and it is best they leave the industry.

  209. Gumby1800clay says:

    Totally tragic! 

  210. Meg_914 says:

    I think you are all very mean people! These girls entertained millions of young girls in a very down to earth, family way. Even as they grew older, you never heard stories like you do about every other “in-your-face” star that started when they were younger, ie…Lindsay Lohan. I’m not big on their adult fashion, but my daughter loved their clothing when she was younger and it was sold at Wal-Mart. As a mom…I loved spending time with my daughter watching their movies! I think Mary Kate and Ashely are beautiful young women and I wish them the best in all they do!

  211. Jay Reams says:

    I didn’t know the anorexic skelatrolls COULD act. 

  212. Amira Alex Amira says:
  213. Jay Reams says:

    You’d have to pay me a Billion to transform me to look like them. On second thought never mind I’ll keep my day job.

  214. mississippi says:

    LMAO!!!!!!! OMG u r so rite

  215. Gary Schaefer says:

    Now this is great sarcastic humor. yes it is Tragic isn’t it.

  216. terrilynnmerritts says:

    What is tragic about this? They never could act. They got their start as trained babies and went on to make a series of the stupidest movies ever made in which they put in poor performances . Their followers were silly girls who had no taste as silly girls usually do. Just a preteen and teeny trend. Nothing more. It’s a good thing for them they did find something decent to do that they have some talent for. No tragedy here.

  217. terrilynnmerritts says:

    Their fans were made up of the same young girls who once loved Barney and Friends (and who had not developed any better taste as preteens and teens). They were a fad and milked it for all it was worth with the sale of videos and products. 

  218. Rosie says:

    So whats so tragic about them not acting any more? Big deal. There are more things in the world that is tragic. The Olsen twins were cute when they were baby’s but no more.They look like two starving girls with too much eye liner on.

  219. madison34 says:

     Well is it so wrong that the young girls who love Barney liked them as well? Those young girls were replaced by other young girls. Good for them for being good business people I say. If I could get my net worth to a billion dollars by milking a video I would do it.

  220. madison34 says:

     Not all actors are actually good. It’s not like it”s brain surgery.

  221. Eric Anderson says:

    Oh, no!  What will the movie going public do without looking at those two monkey-faced critters?

    I’m sorry, but they were ugly as babies and they have not improved.

  222. Eric Anderson says:

     Their billions prove that pre-pubescent girls like them, for some reason.  They like a lot of weird things.

  223. objective observer says:

    well your apple didn’t fall far from your tree.  that doesn’t say as much about the twins as it does about how you raised your daughter.  Obviously she was influenced by you.

  224. objective observer says:

    so do most young actresses in hollywood and most young models unfortunately

  225. shipdog7 says:

    It would be tragic if they do get back on screen.  Instead of Dumb and Dumber these two will be billed as Bimbo and Bimboer.

  226. Bambi says:

    I guess they are too busy ordering the slaying of alligators for their $35000 backpack.  Two ugly bag ladies. Good thing they are already rich before anyone really looked at them or got wise. Good riddance.

  227. brenro says:

    You have to accomplish something at least once in order to never do it again.

  228. jacintha says:

    thats prety crapy to say i thought they were great actors

  229. Allbluessowhat says:

    What’s tragic is the way they both look –  “ I look sadder than you do!” What’s the racoon eyeliner about — too seventies!  Maybe we’re supposed to think they’re really really serious now.

  230. Freaktab says:

    OMG!  That is so very true!

  231. Freaktab says:

    Junkies….  It’s not just for breakfast anymore!

  232. Freaktab says:

    Several years ago, I was completing my morning run in Santa Monica when I was almost knocked over by someone stumbling out of the bushes.  As this young lady fell on the sidewalk, I stopped to help her to her feet.  She was obviously strung out and was very thin.  I recognized her as one of the Olsen twins.  She had torn her clothes and was barely coherent when I asked her if I could assist in any way.  She stumbled off, muttering something and I continued on my run.

    Just because you don’t read about it in US magazine, it doesn’t mean they are the clean and wholesome young ladies you might believe.

  233. auntsusu58 says:

    Man you said it! They get this kinda coverage, which by the way they fail to mention that both of them look PERFECTLY READY FOR THE NEXT VAMPIRE MOVIE, but they can’t devote even 5 mins. everyday on the HORRIBLE PLIGHT OF OUR VETERANS, THOSE STILL IN THE MILITARY, THE IMPACT IT HAS ON THEM & THEIR FAMILY’S, you know something really important LIKE THE GOVERNMENT’S TOTAL FAILURE TO LIVE UP TO THE PROMISES THAT WERE MADE TO THEM WHEN THEY ENLISTED! ALL FORMS OF THE MEDIA ARE NOTHING MORE THAN PRETTY-UPPED VERSIONS OF THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER WITH A MIX OF PLAYBOY TOO! SO THE HALF DEAD LOOKING OLSON TWINS AREN’T GONNA ACT ANYMORE O*M*G* STOP THE PRESSES!!!!   

  234. ageboy says:

    Going to stop acting, when did they ever start!  Tragic?  They milked a popular TV show and  sadly made millions, Go’s to show ya life is truly not fair!

  235. $t@$h -Mr. 3 Spliffs says:

    What’s up with the recovering drug addict look? They are in dire need of medical attention

  236. Meaghan Danzy says:

    Wow, that was a needlessly catty post.  Way to go, women.

  237. Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your article seem
    to be running off the screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.
    The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon.

    Cheers
