Mary-Kate Olsen wants us to know that being in the spotlight isn't as glamorous as it seems. The pint-size twin opens up about fame and fashion in this month's Marie Claire, claiming she "would never wish my upbringing on anyone...but I wouldn't take it back for the world." This sort of statement is to be expected of the eclectic 24-year-old star. The wildly successful clothing lines Mary-Kate created with twin sister Ashley would never have come to fruition if it had not been for their early success. From starring as Michelle Tanner on Full House to their own line of straight-to-video productions, the Olsen twins owe their future success to their past. Sure, they may have been "little money performers" but at least they're now in a happier place. For more on the private life of Mary-Kate, click here.
