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

00:15Well, well, well. Tomorrow night's the big night, eh, Daisy?

00:19And I'm thrilled to death.

00:22One of their first memories is having people lift up their dresses and testing the connection

00:27between them to prove that they were really conjoined.

00:30The woman who cared for them really drilled into them that they're going to be performers.

00:35They're going to be on the road to make her money.

00:44Freaks were the royalty in those shows.

00:46Those were the people that drew the customers to the carnival.

00:51They were very sad people.

00:52They had problems, which you can imagine, being exploited.

00:56It was a very debasing way to make money.

00:59These girls were a tremendous success in show business.

01:40Each one had one a different time.

01:42Camping outside the honeymoon suite were all these reporters and they would try to hear a squeaking bed.

01:48The huge money, the huge success you are today, you're not quite that tomorrow.

01:55They had a series of managers.

01:57Some were okay and others were downright evil.

02:00They were going to do a performance and he took off with all their earnings.

02:04They were destitute.

02:05Their life was taken away.

02:06As hellish as their lives had been, things were going to get even worse.
