The Olsens are making their own declaration of independence this month by Sarah Bernard Ph: George Holz Hair: Mark Townsend Makeup: Brigitte Reiss-Anderson
This is a big year for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Yes, they'll officially take the reins of Dualstar Entertainment, their billion-dollar film and merchandise company, when they turn 18 on June 13—and they'll be moving 3,000 miles away from home this fall to attend New York University. But what made headlines this spring was a comment the girls made about no longer wanting to be called "The Olsen Twins." From now on, they said, they wanted to be referred to by their full names. For two girls who have been marketed as a single brand ever since they famously shared the character of Michelle Tanner on Full House, that's a pretty big deal. (Even they can't tell who's who when they watch an old episode from the show's nine-year run.) With that one comment, Mary-Kate and Ashley proclaimed their independence: They've outgrown the twin act and are now carving out distinct identities. [p.97]
OP Note: The author did not bring this topic to their attention in the interview. They both debunked this on an episode of Letterman, which aired two months prior to the magazine hitting stands.

The Olsens are making their own declaration of independence this month by Sarah Bernard Ph: George Holz Hair: Mark Townsend Makeup: Brigitte Reiss-Anderson
Ashley, who is one inch taller and two minutes older than her sister Mary-Kate, admits she's a little nervous about going off to college. “Leaving high school is like leaving the comfort zone. We've been in it for so long,” she says. And Ashley also confesses she's been stressed out about many of the same things that keep other soon-to-be-freshmen up at night. “I'm afraid that maybe the work will be too hard or too much. Maybe I won't be smart enough for the class or won't know how to write a paper,” she says with genuine concern. While she's thinking about majoring in psychology and business, Ashley would like ot take some film classes, since producing and directing is what she ultimately wants to do. But she's worried that her presence might be a little awkward. “It's going to be so weird,” she says. “I imagine sitting in a film class saying to the teacher, 'Well that's not how it works on the set,'” she jokes sheepishly. “But sometimes you have a jealous teacher or someone in the class who always makes this snide remark, especially if it's about something that we've already done. I just hope that doesn't happen.” [p.99]

As much as she's looking forward to college, Mary-Kate admits she's concerned about starting at a new school. “When I do well in a class it's because I love my teacher,” she says. “So I just hope that I have great teachers taht I want to work hard for, because that's such a better feeling than just, Yuck, I have to go to class again.” But even for a class she didn't like, Mary-Kate would still put in the effort, because she doesn't expect professors or other students to give her special treatment. She really just wants to fit in. And while you see her glammed up in magazines, in her downtime, Mary-Kate's style is what she refers to as bohemian comfortable. “I like good vintage T-shirts, and I only wear two pairs of jeans,” she says. “A pair of Sevens from a film we did—but I bleached and altered them—and a pair of Levi's.” [p.98]
