One of the famous Hollywood twins, designer and actress - 28-year-old Ashley Olsen - was seriously injured by a tick bite, and the disease has already reached one of the last stages. Celebrity friends say that Ashley is getting worse every day.
Ashley may have contracted Lyme disease years ago, but she ignored the symptoms and struggled with the disease. In 2012, her illness worsened, after which Ashley disappeared from the paparazzi's "radar" for some time. Insiders claim that now Ashley's life is under great threat - Lyme disease in an advanced stage is practically untreatable.
In 2012, she began to appear less often in public, explaining this by the fact that she was tired of close attention. However, in fact, the reason for the disappearance of Ashley was her illness, which was already in a serious stage at that time. She and her family are having a very hard time right now. said a source close to the sisters.

Ashley has an advanced stage of the disease, when it becomes increasingly difficult to overcome various symptoms, including headaches and joint pain, fever, a characteristic rash, lesions nervous system and eye.
True, she is not the only celebrity who suffered from a tick bite, so everyone hopes for a speedy recovery of the star.
Last year, Lyme disease struck Canadian singer Avril Lavigne.
I was practically unable to eat, breathe, speak or move. They asked me what was happening to me, but I did not know what to answer. I felt like I was dying. I never suspected that one tick bite could provoke all this. I was bedridden for about five months.
Fortunately, for Avril, everything ended well. It remains to wish the same and Ashley.
It is noteworthy that many fans do not believe in the seriousness of Ashley's illness, noting that the girl does not have skin lesions that are typical for the last stages of Lyme, and that she is so thin - simply because she is on a diet and plays sports (like her sister).

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen are an acting duo of twin sisters who became famous in infancy. In Russia, many comedies, both with small and grown-up Olsen, are still very popular to this day. For example, such films as “Me and my shadow”, “Vacations in New York” and others. Having matured, the sisters began to act separately from each other, as well as to look for themselves in other areas. So, Ashley became a designer.
Lyme disease - transmitted by ticks infection. Symptoms include severe headache, sensitivity to light, persistent fatigue, and joint pain. The incubation period of the disease can last quite a long time: from two weeks to several months. If not treated promptly, Lyme disease can lead to paralysis and dementia.
Mary-Kate Olsen is a famous American actress, one of the famous Olsen twins. Mary-Kate and her sister Ashley Olsen made their debut on the screens, they were barely 9 months old, and by the time they came of age, each had an impressive amount of $ 150 million in their account. In the 90s, the faces of the young Olsen sisters did not leave the screens: “Two: Me and my shadow”, “Dad from the poster”, “Passport to Paris” - all these films are well known to connoisseurs of good family comedies.Having matured, Mary-Kate realized herself outside the sister tandem, taking up the design and publishing business.
Childhood and family
The future TV star was born on June 13, 1986 in sunny Los Angeles. Surely many are familiar with her twin sister Ashley Olsen, who was born two minutes later. As a child, it was quite difficult to distinguish girls, however, if you look closely, you can see that Ashley is right-handed, and Mary-Kate is left-handed. 
The sisters' father, David Olsen, dedicated his life to banking, and my mother, Jarnette Fuller, was once a ballerina. In 1984, their eldest son James was born, two years later, a double replenishment appeared in the family in the faces of Mary-Kate and Ashley, and after another 5 years, the youngest daughter Lizzy was born. Growing up, all the Olsen children chose a creative path. By the way, such a memorable appearance of the sisters, and the rest of the younger Olsen, is the fruit of a mixture of British and Scandinavian blood.
In 1996, the girls' father left the family and started new family married Martha McKenzie. In his second marriage, he had two children - daughter Taylor and son Jack. Despite the difficult relationship between parents, half-siblings have always been friendly.
First roles
As soon as the little ones Ashley and Mary-Kate were 9 months old, the parents sent the sisters to star in the Full House project. The twin girls took turns playing the role of Michelle Tanner, the youngest daughter of the protagonist, a common practice in the American film industry, where there are strict working hours for young actors. It is noteworthy that for some reason Mary-Kate liked the film crew more, and she was given more screen time, to Ashley's deep frustration.This is the project that started star way Mary-Kate and Ashley - the girls were involved in the project until its completion in 1995. By the way, at first the creators of the series wanted to hide the fact that two different girls play the same heroine, so for a long time the sisters were listed in the credits as one person - Mary-Kate Ashley Olsen.
When the girls were 11 years old, their dad, who took on the role of their agent, founded the Dualstar company, which dealt exclusively with the affairs of star sisters.
The heyday of an acting career
In 1995, the film “Two: Me and My Shadow” appeared on television, which brought the twins, without exaggeration, world fame. According to the plot, an exemplary girl from rich family quite by chance meets his exact copy on the street. It turns out that the stranger is an orphan and has spent most of her life wandering. Together they try to upset the wedding of their father, who decided to link his fate with a cruel and vulgar woman. 
After 3 years, another film was released, "Dad from the Poster", the plot of which echoed the script of the first film. This time the girls decided to look for a bride for dad and posted it on a billboard huge photo father.
In 2000, Mattel launched the production of Barbie dolls, which were exact copies of the twins. This marketing ploy significantly increased the company's revenues.
In the future, the actresses starred in a number of good comedies, where the theme of twins was played out in one way or another: “Passport in Paris”, “Lock the Mouth”, “Change Gates”, “Once Upon a Time in Rome” and many others.
In 2003, the sisters found themselves in 61st place in the list of "100 most attractive girls on the planet" according to the gloss FHM. And this despite the fact that many considered them too small for the modeling business. On the next year there was another significant event in the life of actresses - they were awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

After that, a black streak began in the life of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. In 2004, Mary made a terrible confession, declaring to the whole world that she had anorexia nervosa. A little later, doctors discovered a kidney infection - a consequence of intense exercise from a young age.
In the same year, the film "New York Minute" was released, in which the twins in last time appeared together. High hopes were placed on this film - it was supposed to be a transitional link from children's frivolous roles to deeper characters. But the picture failed at the box office.
After some time, a series of rumors swept through the press, the leitmotif of which was the licentiousness and depravity of the Olsen sisters. Annoying journalists accused Mary-Kate of drug abuse after her death close friend Heath Ledger, who died due to an overdose of painkillers.
It is not surprising that the sisters decided to "lay low": they stopped acting in films and discovered new industries. In 2006, Ashley and Mary tried their hand at hosting a comedy program that aired on Saturday Night Live. In parallel with this, they released their own clothing line The Row, which quickly gained popularity among the stars. Over time, the girl became the creative director of the Superga brand.
In 2012, the sisters opened their own shoe store in New York and released their first collection. In 2013, a new perfume was created and a collection of chic bags was released. In the summer, the twins signed a lucrative contract with the Norwegian brand "Bik Bok" and began work on a new fashion line, which included handbags, accessories and, of course, clothes.
The girl always believed that her sister Ashley was more popular, so she decided to test her strength alone, appearing in the movie I Seduced Andy Warhol (2006). The main roles in the film were played by Sienna Miller, Guy Pearce and Mina Suvari.
In 2008, Mary was lucky enough to star with such famous personalities as Ben Kingsley and Famke Janssen in the dramatic thriller Madness.
In 2011, the actress appeared as the main character in the fairy-tale drama Terribly Beautiful, where such famous people like Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Ann Hudgens.

Also that year, the Olsen sisters' book, Influence, was published. On 272 pages, the sisters told about the most interesting moments from your life. In order not to offend each other, the sisters decided to publish 2 different copies. Ashley showed off on one, and Mary-Kate on the other.
In 2014, Mary-Kate made plastic surgery, which most of her fans unanimously called unsuccessful.
Mary-Kate Olsen's personal life
The first choice of Mary-Kate was the popular film director Max Winkler. Their relationship lasted only 2 years. In 2004, the actress met another director, David Katzenberg. At first, there was passion and love between them, but over time, the feeling disappeared, and Kate was left alone again.After this affair, the paparazzi noticed her with the founder of Genetic Denim, Ali Fatureshim. Their relationship also ended in failure.
In 2005, the Greek multimillionaire Stavros Niarchos III proposed to the girl, for which Mary quit her studies at the university. Unfortunately, their plans were ruined by Paris Hilton. The actress learned about the affair of her future husband and the famous glamorous heartbreaker from the newspapers.
In 2006, Mary dated photographer Maxwell Snow, and in 2008 she tried to build a relationship with artist Nate Lowman. In 2012, the young beauty caught the attention of Olivier Sarkozy, brother of Nicolas Sarkozy. He is 17 years older than her. The couple dated for three years, after which the man proposed to her. On November 27, 2015, young people got married.
Mary-Kate Olsen today
Now the main actress in the Olsen family is the youngest Elizabeth, and Mary-Kate devoted herself entirely to the development of new author's clothing lines. Together with her sister, she promotes the Elizabeth & James brand, which produces clothes, perfumes and fashion accessories. In 2016, the Olsen sisters turned 30 - a serious figure, and it is possible that absolutely new stage in their life is not far off. 
As a child, everyone watched the wonderful film "Two: Me and My Shadow." And you remember the charming Olsen sisters. The blond twins evoked emotion in anyone who saw them.
But over the years things can change. From beauties to ugly ducklings - this is about cuties Olsen. Now there is no trace of those little pranksters. Why do the two sisters resemble tired, haggard and emaciated older women? But if Ashley is still "at least somehow holding on," then Mary-Kate is scary to look at.
In the article, we will try to understand the causes of premature aging of Mary-Kate Olsen and trace the chronology of this transformation in reverse.
Photochronology of "aging"
Some journalists claim that such transformations in the appearance of the sisters were intentional. They abused coffee, smoked a lot, sat down on extreme diets for weight loss. And all in order to get out of the image of "cute sisters." But these are just guesses. There is no official version, and it is not expected in the near future.
In this video, you can see the change in the appearance of the sisters just before the “tipping point”:
Career start
This is what the sisters looked like at the very beginning of their stellar career.
Cuties Olsen A Few Years Later (1999).
And even older (2002).
The sunset of an acting career
Together with a loud start, the sisters' career began to decline with the same roar.
In the late nineties, cuties knew every teenager. Posters, books and figurines. All these paraphernalia were sold in stores and raised the popularity of the sisters to unprecedented heights.
And in 2004, the sisters were given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And just after that, their acting career finally began to wane.
Clothes and fashion
But let's go back in chronology and note the moment when the Olsen sisters began to change the direction of their activities.
It was 2003. The twin sisters matured noticeably and began to engage in their own clothing line.
The sisters were engaged in bags, jewelry, clothes. The main direction is boho style.
Changes in appearance
2004 was the last year when girls were hard to tell apart. But since 2007, Mary-Kate's appearance has finally begun to change.
And since 2010, the metamorphoses have become completely irreversible, and Mary-Kate was unrecognizable. Signs of premature aging were evident.
A haggard face, narrowed eyes, sunken cheeks. No one could believe that this was one of the Olsen twins.
However, a ray of hope flashed only once in 2012. The sister dyed her hair, and now the dark color complemented her image. The emaciated face was emphasized by the hair. The fans breathed a sigh of relief even though Mary looked much older than her age.
"Old Olsen"
But all hopes have finally died since 2014. Take a look at these photos. It's not Mary-Kate Olsen anymore. Nobody could believe that it was her. After the appearance of her sister in this image of an old woman, they began to suspect her of using drugs and even of involvement in death. famous actor Heath Ledger.
2015 - 2016. And these two women can no longer be called twins.
Shocking Appearance
It would seem that Mary-Kate Olsen has nothing to "surprise" the audience with. However, she managed to do it again. In 2017, a closed exhibition "Take home nude" was held. She went to New York. But it was not the exhibition itself that attracted people's attention, but the appearance of Sister Olsen with her husband Olivé Sarkozy.
The star rarely goes out with her husband and therefore this case could not help but attract attention. And not only because of the rarity of the case itself.
Mary-Kate was wearing a very peculiar outfit. Dark coat with white lace, light sneakers that look like slippers. Sloppy hair, greasy hair. Inaccurate makeup. She again decided to maintain her image of the "old lady". The reasons for such carelessness of the star remain a mystery.
The famous couple tries not to give public interviews and keep their personal lives intact. They rarely appear in public. And the fans have a question: “How can you get so old in two years of marriage?”. But Sister Olsen herself claims that she is happy with her husband.
Theories and conjectures
Most people are of the opinion that the sister was just addicted to plastic surgery. And perhaps this is the most plausible version. Someone believes that the sisters do not have any problems with appearance at all. Someone complains about an unhappy marriage. But let's not rush and understand these theories in more detail.
Surgical intervention
It is known that the sisters sinned with anti-aging injections, eyebrow lift. However, it was not plastic that made the final changes to Mary-Kate's appearance.
Disease
According to some journalists, the star suffered from early ptosis, the symptoms of which are sagging face, skin aging. But he doesn't show up for no reason. Excessive alcohol consumption, improper diet, tanning bed abuse. All this adversely affects the appearance and can cause the progression of this disease, especially if a person has a predisposition to it.
Lifestyle
But still, the main reason for the aging of Mary-Kate Olsen is her problematic lifestyle, which has evolved over the years. All those weight fluctuations, anorexia problems. This cannot but affect appearance. Sunken cheeks, sickly complexion, narrowed eyes, sagging skin.
Coincidence
Some even deny the presence of all these problems with the star, and note that it's all about bad shooting angles and small problems with low weight. Adherents of this theory zealously defend their point of view and completely deny the fact that the star resorted to surgical intervention. But this theory is the least trustworthy.
Be that as it may, we will not know the truth until the Olsen twins themselves agree to speak on this topic. There is an opinion that the girls are really tired, that they are not taken seriously as adults and constantly return to the image of cute twins.
But in our opinion, such a method of changing attitudes towards one's person is very stupid and inappropriate. If you want to be taken seriously, you don't have to resort to such drastic methods. And we are more than sure that the reason for Mary-Kate's premature old age is completely different.
The Olsen sisters have been on set since they were nine months old and have always played twins in children's comedies.
In 1993, they became the youngest producers in Hollywood, promoting their Dualstar brand. They gained more and more popularity, starring in many films. Their last joint film was "New York Minute", since then the sisters stopped their acting career and switched to fashion.
So sweet and full of health, with a blush on their cheeks, we have seen them for a very long time. Mary-Kate Olsen went downhill sharply. She attended parties too often, drank too much and used illegal drugs.
The result of such an active lifestyle was anorexia and a direct path to a rehabilitation center. She is said to have struggled to get out.
The consequences could have been far worse. Perhaps the reasons for this self-destructive behavior lie in bipolar personality disorder. This very common disease in Hollywood was also diagnosed in Mary Kate Olsen.
Mary Kate herself believes that anorexia has become "an unhealthy response of her body" to the close attention of the press and the worldwide adoration that fell upon her with her sister at a very young age.
In 2011, Mary-Kate played a small role in the youth film Scary Beautiful. She got the role of a witch, in which, I must say, she looked very organic.
In 2014, Mary Kate, for some reason, underwent plastic surgery, which disfigured her and she already became completely different from Ashley, from whom she almost did not differ before.

Now Mary Kate, and Ashley, too, at 29 look old and shabby, there is no longer a former blush and perky spark in her eyes, we have an aunt's haggard appearance.

In childhood, they could be confused, but now they are not: the youngest of the Olsen sisters is five centimeters lower than the older one, besides, she stoops a little, which makes the difference in height more noticeable. But she was the first to get married! The biography of Mary-Kate Olsen, like the biography of Ashley Olsen, is inextricably linked with show business. If before they acted in films, now they are successfully dressing stars (and not only stars) - most recently, the twins received an award that fashion designers equate (in their environment) with the cinema Oscar.
Biography of Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen
big family
So, let's see who is who in the Olsen family. Meet: brother (he is older than the girls) James, twins (that is, fraternal twins) Ashley and Mary-Kate (she is 2 minutes younger than Ashley, and, unlike her sister, is left-handed) - both were born on June 13, 1986. And the youngest, who is now making progress in the cinema, having got into the "clip" of the "Avengers", Elizabeth (she was born in 1989). The parents of this quartet, banker David and manager Jarnett, separated in 1995, so on the father's side, the girls and James have half-sisters and brothers, Taylor and Jake. This is Santa Barbara!
Once upon a time, the Olsen's ancestors moved to the States from Norway and Denmark - that's where the blondness and gray-eyed female actresses come from. As a child, the whole family lived in the small California town of Sherman Oaks. Since this is practically a suburb of Los Angeles, and hence Hollywood, the mother of the twins decided to use their similarity and infantile charm and almost from birth brought them into the acting card file.
From infancy to the TV screen
The plan worked: the sisters were not even a year old, and they were already involved in the soap opera Full House. Kids cannot be recycled, so almost identical girls played one - Michelle. The show was a great success, adored by housewives. This is how it started creative biography Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen. They had to impersonate Michelle Tanner until elementary school age. But they did not waste time, appearing in several more television projects.
Promoted brand
Mom also worked tirelessly: she made her daughters the mistresses of the company and intensively developed the brand of the Olsen sisters, investing in the promotion of the fees earned on the series. In the late 1990s, the image of twins flooded the market: perfumes, children's clothing, books, films, posters, and even dolls. Mary-Kate and Ashley happily posed for posters, filmed their "travel notes", they were charming and sociable, which made the work of the mother manager easier.
Best Roles
Most of the roles of the young actresses were played on TV, and the most memorable film with their participation is, perhaps, “Two: Me and My Shadow”, where the girls were accompanied by no less charming adult actors: Steve Guttenberg, the star of the Police Academy, and the pretty Kirsty Ellie. In the film, two very similar girls (one is an orphanage, the other is a rich woman) fool their relatives and friends in order to upset the wedding of the father of one of them with a blond bitch, a hunter for millions of dads.
Loud failure
An end to the acting biography of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen was put by the comedy New York Minute, which failed at the box office. Another "knockout" was the nominations of both Olsen for the "Golden Raspberry". Ironically, this offensive fiasco coincided with the opening of the sisters' name star on the Walk of Fame. Alas, the grown twins did not look very similar, and they lost their spontaneity.
Trendsetters
Since the images of girls have long been firmly entrenched in the brains of compatriots, they were constantly “caught on the fly” by the paparazzi, and fashion experts were inspired by the “innovative” style of the twins. A kind of bohemia with a touch of negligence and a craving for megalomania: loose trousers and skirts, a huge bag, half-face sunglasses. Olsen already had a children's clothing line, later they themselves began to invent models for young people and entered the American Council of Fashion Designers.
Success in a new field
Things went very well - despite criticism from animal welfare organizations (the sisters do not refuse fur). The girls dedicated one of the brands to their sister and brother (“Elizabeth and James”) and, in addition to clothes, they released a collection of bags and perfumes under this brand.
In 2011, Olsen (both at once) took over as creative directors of the Superga shoe concern, and a year later they became winners of the Council of Fashion Designers of America awards. Later, the twins repeated this success. They claim that the main thing for them (as for fashion designers) is a good, “correct” cut, so the thing sits like a glove.
Ashley Olsen and Mary Kate Olsen Personal Life
So far no luck
Ashley is considered more serious and balanced in this pair of twins, even as a child she was less capricious on the set of the show (and therefore more often got into the frame). But for some reason, Ashley Olsen has no more luck in his personal life. The affair with American football player Matt Kaplan ended abruptly. The actress and designer did not work out with Jared Leto, the famous cyclist Lance Armstrong and James Bartha.
After these failures, Ashley began to appear in the company of businessman David Schulte (he was 17 older than the girl), but they only lasted 4 months.
The ex-president's brother's wife
But with personal life Mary-Kate Olsen is different. She often turned out to be the heroine of the tabloids - either because of problems with anorexia in 2004, then she was credited with an affair with Heath Ledger - they say that it was the actor's masseuse who called her, who found him half dead. Mary-Kate stated that Heath was only her friend.
Now the youngest of the twins is a married lady. Her chosen one is the Frenchman Olivier Sarkozy (yes, the brother of ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy). The marriage was secret and took place in September 2014. The millionaire banker is much older, but the difference in years does not prevent the lovers from enjoying life.
