The Dionne Quints Still Go By Their Quint Name
The Dionne Quintuplets remain a tightly knit unit within the family and continue to be treated as a single group. They dress in different colors to aid identification and frequently switch outfits to amuse visitors. Marie attracts the most fan mail, Cecile is sharp and observant, Emilie is the comic mimic, Annette competitive, and Marie the daredevil. A sixth quint, Pauline, older and striking, blends with the others but stands out for her beauty. The family keeps them largely shielded from crowds, while doctors note their strong teeth and overall health, with occasional orthodontic needs. Their ambition is to visit New York, with Canada’s Bishop Leo Nelligan involved as chaplain and advocate.
