Born on May 28, 1934, in Corbeil, Ontario, the Dionne sisters—Yvonne, Annette, Cécile, Émilie, and Marie—were the first identical quintuplets known to survive infancy. Delivered by Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, their survival astonished the world. The Canadian government took custody in 1935, housing them in “Quintland,” a tourist attraction that drew millions. Exploited for profit, they were isolated behind glass for public viewing until 1943. Though later reunited with their family, the trauma endured.

After finally receiving a $4 million settlement from the Ontario government in 1998, her own son robbed her of her share of the settlement. Interviewed by the Montreal Gazette, October 20, 2016, Cécile speaks out about her living conditions for the first time ever. #ceciledionne #dionnequintuplets #dionnequints #quintuplets #hi
