To Grandmother's House We Go and Dualstar Entertainment Group
from They Thought I Was You · host Becca Roth & Lani Harms
The journey to child stardom continues with the twins' feature film debut: To Grandmother's House We Go. It's...not a good film. Yet this scrappy TV-movie hit gave them (read: their lawyer, Robert Thorne) leverage over ABC to found Dualstar: the multimillion dollar production company.Was Robert Thorne an angel or a devil? Did Dualstar shield Mary-Kate and Ashley from Hollywood's worst? Or did it exploit them and stunt their growth as young actors? And why was the media predicting their "inevitable" train wreck when they were just 6 years old?There's a lot to unpack here. That's why it's a two-parter.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SOURCE MATERIAL:VH1 Driven Documentary: Mary-Kate and AshleyCelebrity Profile: Mary-Kate and AshleyTV Guide: Full House's Tycoon TotsDualstar Production CompanyMary-Kate and Ashley's Fun ClubBehind the Row: Meet Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (Vogue 2011)Thoughts & Suggestions?
