00:00In their heyday, there was probably nothing any bigger a draw than the Hilden sisters.

00:13Well, well, well. Tomorrow night's the big night, eh, Daisy?

00:17And I'm thrilled to death.

00:19One of their first memories is having people lift up their dresses and testing the connection

00:25between them to prove that they were really conjoined.

00:27The woman who cared for them really drilled into them that they're going to be performers.

00:33They're going to be on the road to make her money.

00:42Freaks were the royalty in those shows.

00:45Those were the people that drew the customers to the carnival.

00:49They were very sad people. They had problems, which you can imagine being exploited.

01:38Each one had one at a different time.

01:40Camping outside the honeymoon suite were all these reporters and they would try to hear a squeaking bed.

01:46The huge money, the huge success you are today, you're not quite that tomorrow.

01:53They had a series of managers.

01:55Some were okay, and others were downright evil.

01:58They were going to do a performance.

02:00And he took off with all their earnings.

02:02They were destitute.

02:03Their life was taken away.

02:04As hellish as their lives had been, things were going to get even worse.
