9. Lisa and Louise Burns – Then
Lisa and Louise Burns played the ghostly Grady twins in Stanley Kubrick’s horror masterpiece « The Shining ».
In an interview with the Daily Mail in 2015, the twins explained how they were selected in the film:
“Stanley was the kind of person who didn’t know what he was looking for until he found it. We’d never been to stage school but we had done some TV work before, and so we had an agent and she called our mum and said, ‘Stanley Kubrick is looking for sisters.’ Stanley was never looking for twins, but we went along anyway. If we hadn’t auditioned [then] the roles would probably have gone to two girls of different ages, like the characters in the book. It certainly worked in our favor because Stanley decided twins were just spookier.”

They went on to praise Kubrick and his co-star Jack Nicholson in the interview.
