Baby Superstardom Less Awesome Than Previously Believed
by Ryan Porter
Mary-Kate Olsen sets the record straight about playing half of Michelle Tanner.
Maybe it's the Jack the Pumpkin King smile or maybe it's the potato sacks as dresses, but that
Mary-Kate Olsen is an enigma. In order to fully understand her, we must go back to her beginnings as a sassy baby on television's classic barf-fest
Full House.
Mary-Kate, or MK, as her friends, like me, like to call her, reminisced about those days when everywhere you looked, everywhere you go, there's a face, of somebody who needs you. Apparently she was a "little monkey performer." Her words!
"I look at old photos of me, and I don't feel connected to them at all," she tells
Marie Claire. "I would never wish my upbringing on anyone... but I wouldn't take it back for the world." I know, I know, you want to roll your eyes all over her, seeing as she's swimming in billions from the barrettes she pawned off on Wal-Mart customers.
But I see what she's talking about. I'm glad babyhood videos of myself barely saying, "You got it, dude," aren't immortalized on YouTube. So thank-you, MK, for not wishing that on me. I'll keep my summers mowing lawns, you keep your summers sailing the oceans with Greek shipping scions.
