Before their 18th birthday, the sisters starred in more than 20 movies and TV shows together, with Dualstar Entertainment Group being created in 1993 specifically to produce Mary-Kate and Ashley projects and products.

They were notably absent from the Full House sequel series, Fuller House, when it premiered in 2016, and did not make so much as a cameo throughout the show's four-year run. Taylor Hill / Getty Images Earlier this year, the Olsen twins' Full House co-stars Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber - who played Stephanie Tanner and Kimmy Gibbler on the show - opened up about the logistics of filming with twins during an episode of their How Rude, Tanneritos podcast. Paul Archuleta / Getty Images Answering a fan question, Jodie admitted that "at the beginning," Ashley was favored by directors as she was more amenable, adding: "Mary-Kate did not like being out on set, but Ashley was like: 'Cool, whatevs.' She was much more docile about it." Abc / Getty Images Although they were infants at the time, Jodie said that this held up as the twins got older, too, saying: "That's absolutely who they are. Ashley will be like: 'Sure, whatevs.' Mary Kate was like: 'I don't want to do this.'" (C)Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection Andrea agreed, adding: "One would want to do a certain scene because it was more fun for them, and the other one didn't care." However, both stars recalled that each twin wanted to do the scenes where their character got to eat treats like candy and cookies, with Jodie explaining that directors "had to divide up the sweets eating scenes." She shared: "Because that was the only thing that they were like: 'This isn't fair.' They couldn't have one twin eating more sweets than the other one, or the girls would riot." Ron Galella / Getty Images And former Boy Meets World star Will Friedle recalled his "weird" first-hand experience of working with Mary-Kate and Ashley when they were very young stars during a recent episode of his podcast, Pod Meets World. Greg Doherty / Getty Images For reference, Will and his co-hosts, Rider Strong and Danielle Fishel, all got their start as child stars and worked together on the ABC sitcom Boy Meets World in the '90s. Earlier this month, they reviewed a festive episode of Full House on their pod. Abc Photo Archives / Getty Images At the start of the episode, Danielle asked Will and Rider if they'd ever met the Olsen twins, and Will said that he once interviewed them when he was on Nickelodeon. While he didn't specify the year, Will appeared on the channel from 1988 to 1991 and was best known for being the host of the live, interactive series Don't Just Sit There. Nickelodeon / Via youtube.com Will would have been aged between 11 and 14 years during this window of time, and Mary-Kate and Ashley would have been between two and five years old. Jim Smeal / Getty Images "I interviewed them when I was on Nickelodeon," Will began, and when Rider expressed his shock that the girls would have "only been five" at the time, Will interjected: "If that!" Ron Galella / Getty Images "The woman, their handler, had two Dixie cups taped together with M&Ms in them," Will went on. "And whenever their gaze would go somewhere else, she'd go and shake the thing, and they would snap back to it; it was weird." Abc Photo Archives / Getty Images "I always heard they were trained by food," Rider replied. "That's why every shot of them is a single, and they are waiting to get a cookie if they say the line correctly, or an M&M, or whatever." Abc / Getty Images And Rider could not hide his discomfort at what the Olsen twins went through at such a young age as the episode progressed, with the trio recapping a Season 2 episode of Full House called "Our Very First Christmas Show," which premiered in December 1988 - six months after Mary-Kate and Ashley's second birthday.
