User:Jarvisbrett/Pip and Flip

Pip and Flip were twins who were often advertised as coming from the Yucatan of Mexico (although sometimes also from Australia). They were actually born in New York and the sisters 'real' names were Elvira and Jenny Lee Snow. They suffered from the birth defect of microcephaly which contributed to their "pinhead" physicality. They often worked Coney Island's American side shows throughout the 1930's. They appeared in the 1933 MGM movie Freaks, directed by Tod Browning.
