Born on June 13th, 1986, in Sherman Oaks, California, the Olsen Twins - Mary-Kate and Ashley - weren't yet out of diapers when they were hired on to appear in the hit sitcom, Full House.

Child labor laws forced producers to hire them to take turns playing the part of baby Michelle, opposite John Stamos as Uncle Jesse. And as quick as you could say "you got it, dude" their cuter-than-cute catchphrase melted the heart of millions.

Cancelled in 1995, Full House did not by any means mark the end of the twin's show business career, but was followed by their first screen debut in the hit It Takes Two, with another stint at television in the series Two of a Kind, along with appearances in direct-to-video movies.

Today, the Olsen Twins endure as a multimillion dollar global brand with a clothing line, perfume, a magazine and book series, an official video game, along with TV and movie appearances that appeal to an avid customer base of tweens and young teen girls.

Most recently, the Olsen Twins have made a cameo appearance in Charlies Angels: Full Throttle and co-produced and starred in the feature film, New York Minute.
