The Quintuplets
The Dionne quintuplets were born in Ontario, Canada in 1934 to Elzire Dionne. They were brought up in an unsavory environment, being used as a ‘circus-like’ attraction for tourists. They were quick to warn the parents of the septuplets of the harm that too much exposure could cause.
