They became famous for playing Michelle Tanner in ''Series/FullHouse''. They parlayed that fame into a highly lucrative series of straight-to-[[UsefulNotes/{{VCR}} VHS]] movies, leading them to become the top-earning stars under the age of 21 from the early 90s to the mid-2000s. They stopped acting as a duo in 2004, after the financial disappointment of ''Film/NewYorkMinute'', but continued to profit handsomely from royalties, earning $40 million in 2006 even though they hadn't acted in anything. In 2007 Forbes ranked the twins as the eleventh-richest women in entertainment, with an estimated net worth of $100 million. Their success has led to [[Music/TheVeronicas a]] [[Series/SisterSister number]] [[Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody of]] attempts to heavily promote other young twin actor pairs.

* DolledUpInstallment: The UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor game based on the franchise was originally developed as a ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' title, only for ''South Park'' creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker to put a halt to the release due to concerns about the game's mature subject matter being inappropriate on a device played mostly by children. Crawfish Interactive and Acclaim retooled what they have done so far into ''[[WesternAnimation/MayaTheBee Maya the Bee & Her Friends]]'' which was based on the German cartoon franchise, which in turn was reskinned and modified as ''The New Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley''.

* LyingCreator: ABC didn't want viewers to know that Michelle was played by twins, so they were credited as [[FromACertainPointOfView Mary Kate Ashley Olsen]]. But as the twins got older and the differences between them become more and more obvious, they were credited separately.
