Biography and What Famous For:

Ashley Olsen, along with her twin sister Mary-Kate, became household names at just nine months old when they were cast as Michelle Tanner in the hit ABC sitcom “Full House” in 1987. They shared the role, allowing for compliance with child labor laws and minimizing the impact on their young lives. The show ran until 1995, and their cuteness and comedic timing made them immensely popular.

Following “Full House,” the Olsen twins leveraged their fame to build an entertainment empire. Under their company Dualstar Entertainment, founded in 1993, they starred in a string of successful straight-to-video movies, TV movies, and spin-off shows targeting a young audience. These projects included “It Takes Two,” “Passport to Paris,” “Winning London,” “Holiday in the Sun,” and their last major film together, “New York Minute” (2004). They became global sensations, with their faces appearing on a vast array of merchandise, from dolls and books to video games and cosmetics, turning them into millionaires before they were teenagers.

As they matured, both Ashley and Mary-Kate shifted their focus from acting to fashion. Their transition was gradual, beginning with more age-appropriate fashion lines. In 2006, they founded their luxury fashion label, The Row. The brand is known for its minimalist aesthetic, high-quality fabrics, and sophisticated designs, quickly earning critical acclaim and numerous awards from the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), including Womenswear Designer of the Year and Accessories Designer of the Year. The Row has become a highly respected and successful brand in the high-fashion world, with an estimated valuation of around $1 billion in 2024.

They also launched Elizabeth and James in 2007, a contemporary fashion line offering ready-to-wear, jewelry, eyewear, handbags, and fragrances, named after their younger siblings. While initially very successful, the brand saw changes in its business model over time.

Ashley, along with Mary-Kate, has largely retired from acting to concentrate on their fashion endeavors, maintaining a very private life away from the public eye that defined their childhoods. They are credited with influencing a generation of young fashion enthusiasts and demonstrating a remarkable ability to pivot from child stardom to successful businesswomen.
