Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Retiring From Acting

Estee Lauder "Modern Muse" Fragrance Launch Party - Arrivals

Some of the greatest in their respective professions have walked away during the height of their careers. Fortunately, that’s not the case here. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have decided to retire from the world of acting to focus on fashion. The Olsens reflected on their acting past while speaking with Women’s Wear Daily and said they prefer not to be in front of the camera anymore. In fact, they never really considered themselves actresses. Mary-Kate said this about her the twins career:

“With what we were doing in business when we were younger, I don’t think it ever felt like we were actresses, because we spent so much more of our time not in front of the cameras, building a brand. And [growing up] we also were learning about branding and staying true to ourselves as well … Even down to writing a script, they would want us and our input on what the script should look like or how it would sound — because a 50-year-old man is not going to know the way a 10-year-old is speaking. It was very collaborative, and we were able to learn a lot about branding and marketing and product.”

Incredibly the Olsen twins have been acting since 9-months old. These days they’ve been focusing on building their fashion careers. They built their brand in the fashion world through their production company. The launched their high-end fashion line, The Row, while also working with the likes of J.C. Penny and more. Needless to say the Olsen twins are going to be just fine as they continue to grow their business and leave the acting world behind.
