How The Olsen Twins Were Forced to Be a Brand

Описание: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen weren’t just child stars- they were an entire industry. From starring on Full House as babies to becoming one of the most profitable child brands in entertainment history, the Olsen twins built a media empire before they were even old enough to drive. Movies, books, clothing lines, dolls, magazines… at one point, it felt like Mary-Kate and Ashley were everywhere. But behind the straight-to-DVD movies and sleepover mysteries was something much bigger: the Mary-Kate and Ashley machine.

In this video, we’re looking at how the Olsen twins became a brand, how their childhood was structured around an entertainment empire, and some of the strange and uncomfortable moments that surrounded them.
