GERSH INTERVIEWS TWINS SEPARATED AT BIRTH

This from Brooklyn Paper:

Spy magazine used to have a popular segment called “Separated at
birth” that featured pictures of celebrities who bore an uncanny
resemblance to each other. Forgive real-life twins Paula Bernstein and
Elyse Schein if they fail to find humor in the photographic
juxtaposition — after all, “Separated at birth” is their life story.

The
twins, adopted by different middle-class Jewish families in the 1960s,
were the victims of a New York adoption agency’s bizarre — and since
repudiated — theory that identical twins would flourish if raised
separately.

  1. There was a great piece on Good Morning America today about them; I keep meaning to pick up that book “Identical Strangers!!”
