Between 1992 to 2004, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen starred in 36 films, per Vulture.
That might not sound like much, but it’s actually a staggering number given how the twins also worked on a number of TV projects simultaneously, including “So Little Time” and “Two of A Kind.” Throughout their acting careers, which lasted nearly two decades, they starred in multiple films that earned millions in the box office, as well as direct-to-TV movies that were rented by basically every teen in America. Think classics like “New York Minute,” “Passport to Paris,” and “Our Lips Are Sealed.”
