Lot of 5. Born in England in 1908, these twins, joined at the base of the spine were rejected by their birth mother and were adopted by their midwife, Mrs. Mary Hilton. Almost immediately the girls went on public display in the back room of the Hilton’s pub. At the age of 8, they re-located to San Antonio, TX and were re-fashioned from a carnival to a vaudeville act. They were treated as a business commodity by their adoptive parents. In 1932 they appeared in Todd Browning’s movie “Freaks” and in the excruciatingly awful bio pic “Chained For Life” (1950). They gained and lost fortunes and lovers over the years. They died in 1969.
