Date Sold 11/15/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Deluxe 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Daisy and Violet Hilton were English-born conjoined twins entertainers from the 1910s to the 1950s. They were exhibited in Europe as children, and toured the United States sideshow, vaudeville and American burlesque circuits in the 1920s and 1930s. They were best known for their film appearances in Freaks and the biographic Chained for Life. They were variously called or referred to as The Siamese Twins, The Hilton Sisters and The Brighton Twins or The Brighton Conjoined Twins, and in the United States as the San Antonio Twins. The Hiltons' last public appearance was at a drive-in in 1961 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Their tour manager abandoned them there and, with no means of transportation or income, they were forced to take a job in a nearby grocery store, where they worked for the rest of their lives. On January 4th, 1969 the twins were found dead at the age of 60 in their home, victims of the Hong Kong flu. According to a forensic investigation, Daisy died first and Violet died between two and four days later. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by BOTH Violet and Daisy Hilton with separate inscriptions! Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who has been a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1980s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items. Both we and our consignor feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic, but he does not have a certificate of authenticity. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: good to very good. The still has slightly darkened and there are a few stains and small creases around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
