Article: Mary-Kate, Ashley Olsen are first twins on Hollywood Walk of Fame
Hollywood got two stars for the price of
one on Thursday as the 17-year-old Olsen twins,
Mary-Kate and Ashley, shared a new marker on the Walk of
Fame.
The event was timed to promote their first major
theatrical release in years, "New York Minute," which
debuts on May 7. The Olsens' star recognizes their
contribution to television.
Starting as 9-month-old infants, they played the
character of Michelle on ABC's "Full House" sitcom -- a
role they shared for nine years before branching off
into home video work, where they played separate
characters.
Home video sales, product sponsorship ranging from a
fashion line to toothpaste has made the "Mary-Kate and
Ashley" brand a billion-dollar enterprise through their
company, Dualstar Entertainment. Each of the twins is
estimated to be worth more than $150 million.
"We just want to thank everyone so much," Mary-Kate told
the screaming crowd.
Ashley added: "We want to thank our family and our
friends and everyone at Dualstar, every cast member
we've worked with through the years and most especially
our fans."
"It's a great honor," they said simultaneously.
The twins hugged and held hands while posing by the
star, which rests in front of the Hollywood & Highland
mall complex on Hollywood Boulevard.
For anyone who might confuse them, the twins wore
different outfits and hairstyles. Mary-Kate wore a
slinky, silky purple dress and had darker hair with
blonde highlights, while Ashley was in a more formal,
glittery white dress and had platinum blonde hair.
They turn 18 on June 13. In the meantime, they will host
the season finale of "Saturday Night Live" on May 15.
