Claim To Fame A new hit TV show, Two of a Kind


Q On your new ABC-TV show, Mary-Kate plays a tomboy, while Ashley likes shopping and boys. How close is that to real life?

Ashley: It's close but exaggerated. I'm more girly than my sister, but I'm still not totally boy crazy.

Mary-Kate: I love to play games. I really like football, and I also like to ride horses.

Q You two are millionaires, but you still get an allowance?

Mary-Kate: Yes, we get $7 a week. We both have to clean our rooms, and I have to feed the dogs. Ashley has to vacuum.

Q You spent nine years on the TV show Full House. What's it like to watch yourselves on TV?

Ashley: We don't think about it because we've been doing it since we were 9 months old.

Mary-Kate: It's funny when we see ourselves at that age. It's like, "Look how little we were!"

Q How long do you think you'll keep acting?

Ashley: As long as we want. It's just so much fun--I think we'd miss it a lot if we stopped.
