The Olsen Twins Split
Do not read the headline as the Ashley twins have argued or have problems. This piece of news is only about Mary-Kate. She will do her first major acting role without her sister in cable series “Weeds”. She will star near Mary-Louise Parker, who is Nancy Botwin in the movie, a lead role. Mary-Kate will be pictured in at least 10 episodes and her role is Tara, a Christian teenager that lives in Majestic, a religious community. She will be the love interest of Botwin’s son (Hunter Prrish). The Olsen twin declared:
“I’m thrilled to be a part of the show. It’s really an honor to be a part of such a talented group of actors and writers.”
Jenji Kohan, executive producer of “Weeds” added:
“Weeds isn’t your eight o’clock family fare. It’s an adult show with 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.”
