Executive summary: Olsen Twin They are fraternal not identical twins, but Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (which see) lived virtually identical lives for their first eighteen years.
In June 2004, Mary-Kate -- sans Ashley -- entered a treatment facility "to seek professional help for a health-related issue" -- anorexia. In 2007, she joined the cast of Showtime's dark comedy Weeds, playing a very Christian woman who falls for the son of drug-dealer Mary-Louise Parker. It was arguably her first adult role, and at age 20, her first job without her sister beside her.
She was dating Heath Ledger at the time of his death, and the masseuse who found Ledger's body in his New York apartment reportedly called Olsen long-distance in California -- twice -- before dialing 9-1-1. Olsen has reportedly refused to talk to police about Ledger's death unless she is first granted immunity from prosecution.
