Calling It Quits
In 2004, it was confirmed that Mary-Kate was receiving treatment for an eating disorder. Then in 2012, both sisters left NYU in 2012 before graduating. They didn't open up about their decision to quit Hollywood until much later and are famously known for their current reclusive lives...
Moving Away From the Lens
"I don't have to be a pretty face," Mary-Kate told Elle UK in an interview. "I've done that, but now it’s important and liberating to be on the other side of the lens. I don't like to be the center of attention anymore. It doesn't mean I'm not interested in Hollywood," she continued. "I like the way it operates, I like the people who are involved and the sense of possibility. But if I ever get back in, it's not going to be as an actress."
