Pili and Mili
Pili and Mili was a comic acting duo composed of twins Pilar and Emilia Bayona. They rose to fame in the early 1960s, becoming one of the biggest stars of the "singing child prodigy" movie genre that enjoyed a boom at the time. Their movies were musical comedies based on the same formula of mistaken identities.
The twins were very popular in Spain, Argentina, Mexico and Italy, but their career was short, lasting only from 1963 to 1970. When the success formula ceased to work, the duo dissolved. Mili retired aged 22, but Pili continued her entertainment career.
