Ashley Olsen

Born on June 13, 1986, in Sherman Oaks, Calif., Ashley is part of the enterprising young duo known as the Olsen Twins.

The quieter, more private half has been in the spotlight since she shared the role of Michelle Tanner on Full House with her twin sister, Mary-Kate. The Olsens have remained inseparable their whole lives, even now as two of Hollywood’s most talked about actresses.

From books, movies, and fashion lines—including the high-end Elizabeth and James, which debuted in 2007—Ashley is a powerful force in American pop culture.
