A photo gallery and brief description follows for several of the movies and shows which I've come across. I'd love to hear from my readers if you've any to add to this collection! Read on:
The ever-popular though obviously naivé Patty Duke Show highlighted the fun and pitfalls of having an "identical" twin (or in their case, cousin!) Patty Duke starred in her own show and horrow stories aside, it was a cute production. Years later the ensemble reunited for a Patty Duke reunion show.
Disney's Original The Parent Trap Starring: Haley Mills as Sharon and Susan, twins separated at an early age by divorcing parents. They meet up at summer camp when they are 13 and pull the ol switcher-oo.
In the very early 1980's Disney went with a sequel, The Parent Trap II starring Haley Mills as a newly divorced mother whose prepubescent daughter meets a friend and they cooperatively scheme to join her father, Tom Skerrit, with Haley Mills, along with the help of "Aunt Susan," Haley's "twin." Cute, but not entirely captivating.
A third sequel, The Parent Trap III had cast actual triplets (finally!).
Disney remade its own hit, The Parent Trap, in 1998, once again casting a single young actress as the two twins. Personally, I'd hoped they'd find actual twins for this movie but it still was a cute picture! Starring Lyndsay Lohen, Dennis Quaid, Natasha Richardson
The long running series, "Little House on the Prairie," had two sets of twins in the Ingalls family, the actresses playing Carrie, Robin and Rachel Greenbush, and the babies playing Grace.
I'll be brutally honest, when I was a teenager and occasionally watched the 1980's sit-com, "Full House," I thought that the little babies playing youngest sister Michelle were not very cute at all! When they grew older I was impressed at their innate acting abitility (just growing up on a television set does not instill acting abitlity. Now that the Olsen twins are growing up, they are becoming quite the little lookers! Here's my opportunity to say that I'm 100% convinced they are identical! I don't know why their mother and/or PR representative insists they're fraternal. Perhaps they had two placentas. That does not denote fraternality. I'd like the see their genetic testing results!
