Ashley Olsen

Ashley Olsen is an American actress and entrepreneur who rose to fame acting alongside her twin sister, Mary Kate.

In her infancy, the twins were cast in the shared role of Michelle Tanner on the family sitcom "Full House."

After wrapping "Full House", Mary Kate and her sister starred in a number of children's movies and tv specials. Their popularity and recognition grew, and they attempted to star in their own series "So Little Time," but it was not a success. Instead, the twins focused on building their brand and launched their corporation, Dualstar. By age 10, they were the youngest self-made millionaires in US history.

During her first two years in school, Ashley began dating nightclub empresario Scott Sartiano and was frequently seen in his clubs. Meanwhile, her sister was struggling with anorexia. Ashley made time to visit her sister when she left for treatment at center in Utah.

Ashley eventually broke up with her boyfriend and returned to LA, determined to focus on her clothing lines, The Row and Elizabeth and James. She has not acted since 2004, but has found her place among the fashion mavens and designers.

In fall 2007, Ashley was seen out numerous times with newly single Lance Armstrong, but the two have not admitted to a relationship.
