Publicity
[edit]The Hilton sisters toured first in England at the age of three as "The United Twins".

They had numerous affairs, failed attempts to get a marriage license and a couple of short marriages. The twins were found dead in their home due to the Hong Kong flu.
When Daisy Hilton and Violet Hilton moved to the United States, they became famous for their vaudeville act and their burlesque performances during the 1920s and 1930s; they also appeared in a couple of films. ISBN 9781580087582

The sisters were born joined by their hips and buttocks; they shared blood circulation and were fused at the pelvis but shared no major organs.Their tour manager abandoned them there, and with no means of transportation or income, they were forced to take a job in a nearby grocery store.
Referred to as Siamese Twins, the Hilton sisters were connected at the hip and buttocks.
Legacy
[edit]In 1997, a Broadway musical loosely based on the sisters' lives, Side Show, with lyrics by Bill Russell and music by Henry Krieger, received four Tony nominations. He reported that subsequently the Sussex Medico-Chiurgical Society considered separation, but unanimously decided against it as it was believed that the operation would certainly lead to the death of at least one of the twins.

Daisy and Violet Hilton
Daisy Hilton and Violet Hilton (5 February 1908 – January 1969) were a pair of conjoined twins who toured in the U.S.sideshow and vaudeville circuit in the 1930s.
They trained the girls in singing and dancing. Daisy dyed her hair blonde and they began to wear different outfits so they could be told apart.
Conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton were born in the early 1900s in England. Their mother was a single barmaid named Kate Skinner. If the Hilton conjoined twins were born in the 21st century, it's likely they could have been surgically separated; because unlike most conjoined twins, such as Abby and Brittany, Daisy and Violet only shared blood circulation and each had their own organs.
