Ashley Olsen: I've Given Up Acting for Fashion
Ashley Olsen has confirmed that she has given up acting to work full-time in the fashion business.
"I used to be in the entertainment industry," Mary-Kate’s twin tells Hamptons magazine, on sale now. "And now I feel passionate about the fashion industry. I understand what it takes to make a brand and to have an eye for product that sells. I don't have the time to step away for a month. I hold myself accountable every day."
Based in New York ("I can actually live here"), Ashley flies to her home in Los Angeles about every five weeks to visit her boyfriend, actor Justin Bartha of The Hangover and the company DualStar that she runs with her sister Mary-Kate, who she says "couldn't be more supportive" of her new career path. Because of her exhausting routine, she unwinds with yoga... and lots of junk food.
“I am literally the worst eater in the world," the self-professed "French fries and hamburger girl" tells the mag. "Being in the garment district, it's Subway or pizza. I never actually thought about what I eat." However, a recent yoga retreat made her rethink what she's been putting into her body. "I learned about cleansing and eating right for your body. I came back energized."
So does Ashley's new life mean she's done with acting forever? "Never say never," she says. But adds: "I really just love my job."

These girls were so homely as babies, toddlers & little kids.
As Adults they are beautiful ........................ sort of like the ugly ducklings turning into swans. I hope they have the good guidance & sense to take care of their source of cash! -- Gorgeous

Why can't you have both of them!!

She seems like the more stable of the twins. I'm glad she found something that makes her happy. Every celeb should get out of Hollywood and get a real life like this. I don't see either her or her sister having an actual acting career anymore. It's cool she made the transition from ex-child star to a happy life as an adult. So few do.
