Ashley Olsen: Ashley Olsen’s Retirement From Acting

Ashley Olsen: Ashley Olsen’s Retirement From Acting, Ashley Olsen, only 25, has announced her intent to retire from acting; she is one-half of the popular twin set known jointly as Mary-Kate and Ashley.
Olsen and her sister have been in the acting business since they were nine months old, alternately playing the role of Michelle Tanner on the family series “Full House,” which aired for eight years. America fell in love with the duo, and they capitalized on their popularity to launch their own movies.

In 1995 they took a break from doing their own movies to star in “It Takes Two” and 2004’s “New York Minute.” Olsen attended New York University for a few months before going to California. Now, Olsen has announced that she will not return to the big screen, or any screen.

“I’ve done that, but now it’s important and liberating to be on the other side of the lens. I don’t like to be the center of attention anymore,” she told Elle U.K.

Olsen will focus on the twins’ numerous clothing lines: The Row, Elizabeth and James, and Olsenboye.
