Also referred to as Siamese Twins, Daisy and Violet Hilton were conjoined twins born in the early 20th century in England. They were connected at the hip and buttocks. The doctors at the time of their birth said that if they were separated, one or both would die.
If they were born today, I’m sure they would’ve been surgically separated because they were not like most conjoined twins. Both had their own organs and only shared blood circulation.
Daisy and Violet’s mother left them shortly after they were born. The sisters spent their early life being displayed in sideshows. They became quite famous when they moved to the United States. Then even appeared in a couple of movies.
However, before receiving emancipation, they suffered a lot at the hands of their guardians. Here’s a brief look at the tragic lives of one of the most famous conjoined twins in modern history.
