Mary-Kate Olsen has landed a lead role in US TV show 'Weeds' - and will
appear without her twin Ashley.
Mary-Kate will play Tara, a God-fearing girl living in the newly established
Christian community, Majestic. Tara becomes the love interest of Silas,
played by Hunter Parrish.
A series producer said: "'Weeds' isn't your eight o'clock family fare. It's
an adult show and adult subject matter, and we're confident Mary-Kate is
right for the role. She came in and read with Hunter and was absolutely
charming and real and seemed like a great fit.
"Audiences have seen only one side of Mary-Kate, but here we'll see her in a
whole new light."
The 20-year-old actress is scheduled to appear in 10 of the 15 episodes of
the third season of the show, which premieres in the US in August.
Mary-Kate's role in the black comedy series is noticeably different from the
wholesome characters she and Ashley played on ABC's comedy series 'Full
House'.
After their stint on the series ended, Mary-Kate and Ashley starred in a
number of children's TV series and movies, including 'So Little Time' and
'New York Minute'.
This isn't the first time Mary-Kate has appeared on screen without her twin.
She made a fleeting non-speaking appearance in 'Factory Girl'.
her hair(err extensions) looks like weeds. And are we sure this is albino chimp Mary Kate and not Asslee? How does one even know?

I love that show. I can’t picture her in it at all.
I was over these ragamuffins back when Full House was still on…

She could play one of those flying monkeys in a re-make of The Wizard of Oz.

She should smoke some weed, get the munchies and gain some weight so she does not look like a 12 yr old!

anyone notice her nose job?
Her nose is SO much thinner and more defined than Ashley’s.

I went to the zoo last week and in the gorilla display they had two female gorillas named mary kate and ashley, they even starved the gorillas to further resemble the two.

I think Mary Kate would look much better with some weight on, really.
Anyway I am loving the fact that I’m living in Russia because we don’t get that shit.
I would hate to see another show with any of those twins again. Full House was enough.
