    Ep 82: Mary Kate & Ashley (part 2): Child Stars Grow up
    Jun 18 2025

    In part 2 of my MK & A episode, this week I'm talking about Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen's lives and careers in the 2000s and beyond. I discuss the many films the girls made throughout their teens (including their final movie together), the media frenzy around them turning 18, the many ways they were victims of the paparazzi culture of the time, and their successful careers in fashion since retiring from acting. I also share some fun Mary Kate & Ashley movie facts, and of course, talk a lot about their outfits.
