Daisy Hilton

Biography

Daisy and Violet Hilton were English-born conjoined twins born on February 5, 1908, in Brighton, England. Exhibited as children and later touring the US sideshow circuit alongside Bob Hope and Charlie Chaplin, they gained international recognition for their performances in "Freaks" (1932) and the biopic "Chained for Life" (1951). Emancipated from professional management by 1933, on Harry Houdini's advice, they forged their own paths as entertainers.
