The Canadian government needs to take care of those two surviving poor ladies in their eighties! If they need assisted care, put them in the best home available. The Canadian government made millions off of them and stole their lives. Treat them like the queens.

Horrifying and fascinating at the same time.

the babies became grandmas and they still looks so beautiful ❤️😍 feels sorry for their tragic lifes

they are so beautiful! they aged gracefully

They also were more comfortable speaking French because their father fired the nurses that spoke English and hired French speaking nurses because he despised Dr Dafoe, he only knew English, when the girls moved back home, they were made fun of by their family because they spoke English and the girls spoke French. But they were bilingual, that's more than some people can do.

My mother was born the same year as they were and always had a very special place in her heart for them.

Annette and Cecile are the only 2 that are still alive today.

This is just a heartbreaking story. Those little girls were treated horribly. I think Doctor Roy started out with good intentions. But when the money started rolling in he got greedy. And the Dad got greedy too after he saw the dollar amounts they could make. Those first 6 years of children’s lives are so vital. They learn how to be people and feel nurtured and safe. These children didn’t get the benefits that all children deserve. And it is sickening that those little girls built the “hospital” paid the labors, and Saleries of the staff and feed them and paid all the utilities. Off the sweat of their backs. You know they didn’t always want to be put on display. The Canadian government should be taking care of the surviving sisters.

It's really unbelievable that 5 little human beings could be put on public display like animals in a zoo. This was so beyond wrong!!

These poor little girls were beautiful. They didn't know anything but the Dafoe Hospital And Nursery for nine years. According to their story, their brothers and sisters hated them, their father and oldest brother molested them. Their mother was cruel and slapped them, told Marie that she was cross eyed, told Emilie the devil made her left handed. The girls were treated like servants. They didn't even know how to be on their own after they grew up. The three that did marry divorced, It's a sad book.

This was so sad, and it made me angry too, the way they were exploited, especially the "shows" they had to give three or four times a day. And that song those poor girls had to sing. You can see in their faces they're angry and sad at the same time. BTW they had Shirley Temple dolls that Shirley herself gave them, when they moved in to "The big house" their mother took them away from them. When they asked what happened to their Shirley's she went on a rant about "When I was your age I was working in the fields doing the work of a man!" etc- They were only ten at the time. I played with dolls until I was a teenager, playing with my cousins Barbies. And playing dolls with my girl cousins and later on my niece.I'm sure their are lots of women out here that played with dolls with their children and relatives.

Tragic. Another shameful spot on the Canadian government's history. Seems taking children from their families, as with First Nations' children, was something they excelled at. Utterly disgusting.

Wow amazing true story.. God is good all the time.. I believe in miracle🙏👏

god bless theses women

The Dionne’s story was told first (and best) by Pierre Berton in his book “The Dionne Years” and the accompanying CBC/National Film Board documentary. A crucial element to understanding the whole saga was that it took place during the depths of the Depression in the 1030s, and also the disparate cultural forces of rural, poor Catholic Quebec, and the more modern, “progressive” society of Ontario, the rest of Canada, and the entire world fascinated by this unique human interest story….

At least, Emile wasn't molested in the "Nursery". She was molested in their home. In later life the girls/women told about this. Father wanted to rent them out to a sideshow. Such love. "We Were Five" is a fascinating book about their life. The statement about Emile being molested came out later(much later, after her death). At the time the remaining Sister's took back the statement because it was hurtful to their family. Still victims of their Mother & Father.

It sure seems to me that of all the money these women brought into the Canadian coffers, ample amounts of it belong to the women themselves to keep them comfortably the rest of their lives. They paid dearly.

They were happier in the nursery than with their family. In real life, their parents were horrible people. This movie made them look like innocent victims.

Strange, the government took them away from their parents to stop the father from exploiting them and the government did a really decent job of just that.

If they had off been my children I wouldn’t let anyone take them away from me or use them like that 😓

In real life their older sister Thérèse Callahan né Dionne passed away earlier this year at the age of 91. Mrs. Callahan was known as the family spokesperson and often spoke out against her quintuplet sisters, they were estranged from her their entire adult lives. Sadly, only Annette Dionne (87) and Cécile Dionne (87) are living as of July 2021. And with the passing of Mrs. Callahan they have no other surviving siblings. The only non-quint sibling that they had any contact and relationship with into adulthood was Pauline Dionne. Pauline never married and passed away in 2018. Around the time that their second autobiography was published “Family Secrets” in 1995 Pauline broke off all contact with her surviving quint sisters.

what a shame for Canada !

I need to contact them and give them a scrapbook I acquired at an estate sale. They would love it. Does anyone know how I could reach the last two surviving ladies. I live in Texas

Bernadete Rocha, oi. Essas 5 irmãs nasceram em 1934, no Canadá, e todos acharam que elas morreriam logo, pois, eram tão pequenas que cabiam na palma da mão. Só que sobreviveram. Os pais eram pobres e, quando elas estavam mais fortinhas, bebês ainda, o pai delas resolveu levá-las a uma feira agrícola. Um homem do governo canadense, abusando do poder, tomou as meninas dos pais e, elas foram criadas sob os cuidados de 1 médico e algumas enfermeiras. Os pais entraram na justiça e, só tiveram-nas de volta, quando elas tinham nove anos. Enquanto isso, elas foram exploradas pelo governo e pelo médico, que ganharam 500 milhões de dólares com elas, fazendo calendários e muitos comerciais de vários produtos, naquele tempo. Quando os pais recuperaram a guarda delas, receberam algum dinheiro e, compraram uma mansão, pra onde toda a família se mudou, inclusive mais 5 irmãos delas. Só que aí, o pai abusou sexualmente delas, a mãe e os irmãos odiavam-nas, a mãe batia nelas e chamava-as de pervertidas. E um dos irmãos também abusou delas. Com 18 anos, elas foram embora de casa e, cortaram relações com a família, pra sempre. Muitos anos depois, elas escreveram um livro, que virou filme e, o mundo soube da história. Uma das meninas morreu com 20 anos, de epilepsia e, outra morreu aos 34 anos, de ataque cardíaco. Essa de 20 anos começou a ter ataques epiléticos com seus 12 ou 13 anos, mas, os pais não levaram ao médico e, diziam pra manter a doença em segredo. Muitos anos depois, elas entraram na justiça, para exigir indenização do governo, que tinha lucrado os 500 milhões com elas. Diz que nunca receberam um tostão.

If it's true, then shame on both men, but the mother looked absolutely heartbroken. And if Jeff Bridges didn't win an award for his portrayal as the bad doctor, he should have.

Yes. And what would have been three sets of identical twins between them, which confuses me. Two shared a sack and were mirror twins, two shared a sack and were regular identical twins, Cecile had her own sack and it’s believed that she originally shared it with a sixth twin who was miscarried earlier in the mother’s pregnacy. I can’t quite wrap my head around sets of identical twins within a group of identical quintuplets (originally identical sextuplets), but that’s what’s been said.
