Pili and Mili

Pili and Mili (Pili y Mili) was a comic acting duo composed of twins Aurora and Pilar Bayona (born February 10, 1947, in Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain). They rose to fame in early 1960s, becoming one of the biggest stars of the "child prodigy" movie genre that enjoyed a boom at the time. Their movies were musical comedies based on the same formula of mistaken identities.

During the shooting of their first film, the choreographer offered them tablets in case they were tired. In 1968 they appeared in Dos gemelas estupendas.

The twins were very popular in Spain, Mexico and Italy, but their career was short, lasting only from 1963 to 1970. When the success formula ceased to work, the duo dissolved. Mili retired aged 22 but Pili continued.
