Mary-Kate Olsen - Rehab for a Twin

These fraternal twins might look alike, but they are complete opposites. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen grew up together but are very different. These cute little girls were the stars of Full House and many other movies and shows, but they got their names known from starring on Full House. Since they've grown up they have become mega-stars with multiple talents. They both share two fashion lines: "Mary-Kate and Ashley" and "The Row" and they are extremely rich. These sisters were famous before they could even walk!

Is this too good to be true? Unfortunately, yes. Mary-Kate has had her fair share of problems. In 2004, Mary-Kate was admitted into a rehabilitation facility to help her with her anorexia. She became increasingly gaunt and frail-looking, and finally family and friends had to take action. Mary-Kate has admitted to the public that she was being treated for an eating disorder, but there were rumours about drug abuses, yet this is not proven.

Mary-Kate and Ashley are naturally skinny, which makes me question why MK had an eating disorder. Of course, people all have their problems and being in Hollywood, there is more emphasis on body. I guess that is why so many famous people have eating disorders and other illnesses.

Regardless, the Olsen twins have made a huge name for themselves, and they are recognized everywhere they are. They are extremely successful! In fact, they are already worth at least $40 million! They have starred in 14 movies, 4 television shows, 11 videos of The Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley, and 10 videos of You're invited to Mary-Kate and Ashley's.... They have been in the public's eye for their whole life, so no matter what mistake they make, people will be watching.

It is such a shame that these kinds of disorders happen to people, no matter what their ethnicity, gender, sexual preferences, anything - I do not wish these kinds of diseases onto anyone.

From Fame to Shame, and back to fame, Mary-Kate Olsen has been a child prodigy and succeeded with her career until her eating disorder took over and she went to rehab. Good news - Mary-Kate is healthier now!
