Peggy and Mollie Bensaid, known as the Bensaid Twins, were a celebrated British dance and performance duo whose remarkable showbiz career spanned almost 70 years.
They began performing as part of a youth dance troupe and quickly gained recognition in theatres and summer camps across the UK. There are many photographs of them at a young age.
There are also photos of them performing solo.
During World War II , the twins toured extensively, performing for British troops and the American Red Cross. Later they reinvented themselves as Britain’s only female clown duo.
Apparently they were separated for many years but reunited in a nursing home. They also featured in a documentary about “Hundred Year Old Drivers” which you can find on youtube.
