Mary-Kate Olsen Smiles Like She Rarely Does - With Teeth (PHOTOS)

Diminutive actress/fashion designer/former child star Mary-Kate Olsen tried on a new look Wednesday at a New York screening of her film "The Wackness." Olsen not only smiled, she did so showing teeth. Joined by costar Oliva Thirlby (also the best friend in last year's "Juno") and Josh Beck, Olsen broke out into a downright grin as she posed.

Also in the movie but not at the screening is Ben Kingsley, who kisses Mary-Kate, 22, onscreen. "She was completely in charge," the actor, 64, told People of their enthusiastic make-out scene in a telephone booth.

Scroll down for pictures of Wednesday and some classic shots from the past year.

Here is Olsen on three other red carpets from the past year with a more familiar face on:

She looks beautiful.. A little cheap with the smudging under the eyes, and yet she's so young, no one really cares. I love her sweaters. They are a little small for me, but I am making one fit.

I think these girls are really homely, and there is something distinctly creepy about them. I am glad that I don't have young daughters who feel they have to emulate the Olsens. I've seen prettier girls working at K-Mart.

It's about time. How pretty you look my dear. I've been bored for years with those two pretty sisters looking exactly the same with no smile in every pic they've posed for. Just like Posh Spice.

[rzan]

Which pretty sisters are you talking about?

[petecook5]

File under who cares. Until she's starring in her own home porn movie, there is nothing to see here looky-loo's.

[StanTheManic]

Stop the presses!

Real feckin' news!!!

[rchsod]

maybe they are smoking real weed on "weeds" she really does have a nice smile

[Felicty]

They should eat something, every now and then. What are their talents, again?

[nanoscare]

Money. Their talent is money. and that one was pretty good in "weeds."

[XME]

She looks MUCH healthier in the recent pictures than she did in the older pics. Maybe the smiles are bigger because she actually healthier and happier. Hopefully.

[loki]

i'll agree with others here, she does look much better smiling. Much better.

[dac253]

everyone does :)

[walk0nwalls]

Not everyone....

I have three teeth... they all bend outwards...

my daughters use to watch their videos and one thing that always irritated me was that they never did learn to act as they grew up. You would think that as much acting as they tried to do , they would pick something up by osmosis or accident. But sadly not. They did however become billionaires, and they didnt do anything to dishonest or illegal to get there. At least not that I know of. And that in itself is an anomaly in this day and age.

Wow, she almost looks human....

[FatherWolf]

And her hair is combed too ... another first!

[JDJase]

I am just completely stunned....stunned that Huff post would do a story about someone showing their teeth when smiling. Wow.

[wadenelson1]

A pair of those plastic trolls I had as a kid grew up and became the Olsen twins.

[paganmist]

Wow. She looks really healthy and happy in these photos. Also, yeah, smiling with teeth does her good, and are quite possibly a sign of a better outlook on life.

Either way, she seems "better" somehow. Good luck to her.
