Dionne Quintuplets, 20th century
The Dionne Quintuplets (born May 28, 1934) are the first quintuplets known to have survived their infancy. The identical sisters were born in Canada. The Dionne girls were born two months premature. After four months with their family, they were made Wards of the King for the next nine years under the Dionne Quintuplets' Guardianship Act, 1935. The government and those around them began to profit by making them a significant tourist attraction in Ontario. The identical quintuplet sisters were, in order of birth: Yvonne Ìädouilda Marie Dionne (died 2001), Annette Lillianne Marie Allard (living), CÌ©cile Marie Ìämilda Langlois (living), Ìämilie Marie Jeanne Dionne (died 1954), Marie Reine Alma Houle (died 1970).
