In May 1934, the first quintuplets ever to survive birth were born in a tiny rural settlement in northern Canada. The Dionne babies became global superstars and millions of people visited their specially-built nursery. But, once their fame was over, the Dionne Quintuplets all struggled to adapt to daily life and had to fight for compensation. Witness speaks to a biographer of the Quintuplets and brings together archive recordings from the height of their fame. PHOTO:
