Happy Birthday, Émilie🩷 I’m glad I was able to visit on what should’ve been your 89th birthday. You are missed by so many🌷 #émiliedionne #dionnequintuplets #dionnequints #quintuplets #history #corbeil #ontario #canada

Yvonne, Annette and Cécile Dionne looking back on their childhood. They were the three surviving Dionne Quintuplets, the first set of surviving quintuplets, born in 1934 and essentially raised in a zoo. People could watch them at play twice a day and there were thousands of photographs taken of the girls before they were 18. At one point, they were the center of one of North America’s biggest tourist attractions. Today, only Annette and Cécile are alive. This video is from 1998, when they filmed

Cécile Dionne, one of the first quintuplets to survive infancy, has survived far more than just a miraculous birth. She and her sisters were exploited and used for years. After finally receiving a $4 million settlement from the Ontario government in 1998, her own son robbed her of her share of the settlement. Interviewed by the Montreal Gazette, October 20, 2016, Cécile speaks out about her living conditions for the first time ever. #ceciledionne #dionnequintuplets #dionnequints #quintuplets #hi
