The first time Mary Kate Olsen has played a role without her sister Ashley Olsen, will be on Showtime's "Weeds," an edgy story about a pot-selling mom played by Mary Louise Parker. Mary Kate is used to playing wholesome roles, so this role is a little different from the usual fan-fare roles of goody two-shoes parts. Mary Kate’s role on Weeds involves her playing a young Christian girl, Tara, who falls for the son of a woman dealing pot, which brings out another side of her.
Series creator Jenji Kohan says the show is an adult themed show, not family fare. Kohan, who is also the executive producer, said: "It's an adult show with adult subject matter, and we're confident Mary Kate is right for the role. She came in and read with Hunter and was absolutely charming and real and seemed like a great fit. Audiences have seen only one side of Mary Kate, but here we'll see her in a whole new light." The show premiere's on August 13.
