Seventy-seven years ago this May, the 20th century's most famous multiples were born in Canada.
Fans lined up at windows to ogle at five identical girls.

The girls were put on display for the viewing public at set times.
Sixty years later, the surviving Dionne's were intricately a part of the making of a mini-series about their lives. The sisters initially opposed the project and insisted that this part of their life was a closed chapter and didn't affect them anymore. But then ....
"When we read the script, I found the story to be very sad," Annette said. "Then I realized that we actually lived it all. It was very painful."
The mini-series dramatizes the quick sacking of a nurse for "insubordination" after she questioned the exploitation of the girls.
Canada made amends to the Dionne quintuplets by paying them a hefty settlement. What amends will Alice Travel make for their hand in exploiting Mady and Cara?
