How Many Movies Did Mary-Kate And Ashley Olsen Actually Do Together?

Although they're quite far removed from it now, there was a time when the Olsen twins were the stars of their own mini-MCU (or should that be OCU?). As Screen Rant notes, the sisters ultimately appeared in 15 movies together. They typically played co-leads, with the exception being 1994's "Little Rascals," in which Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen featured only in a short cameo. 

The vast majority of their movies were released straight to video, though 1995's "It Takes Two," which also featured Kirstie Alley and Steve Guttenberg, received a theatrical release, as well as "New York Minute," which was released in 2004. The sisters usually acted opposite each other and rarely appeared as solo performers, though Mary-Kate continued acting slightly longer than Ashley. 

"New York Minute" was their last film together. Ashley's final role overall, however, was an uncredited appearance in 2010's Casey Affleck-starring mockumentary "I'm Still Here." Mary-Kate's, meanwhile, was in the modern "Beauty and the Beast" adaptation "Beastly," in 2011. She also had a substantial arc on TV's "Weeds," in 2007. 

The Olsens have briefly discussed their decision to quit acting, with Mary-Kate telling Allure in 2013 that she's "not great at not being able to control the end product." Likewise, Ashley admitted, "I was reading scripts, and ultimately I just said to the people who were representing me, 'I need to do things 100%. I don't feel like I can give you 100% of my time.'"

Can't say that we blame them.
