Thirty-two years ago, Mary Kate Olsen And Ashley Olsen brewed Double, double work and trouble.
At that time, the twins, then aged 7 were already the youngest self-made millionaires. After launching their career at 8 months old with the shared role of Michelle Tanner in Full houseMary-Kate and Ashley quickly grew their empire. The child stars turned fashion designers created their own company Dualstar, which would produce all of their films direct to VHS, including, of course, Double, double work and trouble.
The TV movie premiered on ABC on October 30, 1993, and became a somewhat overlooked Halloween offering, aside from the Olsen twins’ loyal fan base who grew up obsessed with the sisters’ songs and films. But Double, double work and trouble is filled with plenty of 90s nostalgia, WTF moments, and a cast that also includes Eric McCormack (although he previously admitted he didn’t actually watch the film).
“No, I never did,” the Will and grace alumnus, who wasn’t a big fan of his longer role in the film, said Weekly Entertainment in 2021. “It’s hard to go back and see…certain looks. And also, I was probably a year and a half in television, so I was still trying to adapt my acting to the camera. Maybe I was terrified to go back and watch it.”
