Their ability to remain wholesome and gracious, even in an industry famous for egos, made them beloved not just by audiences, but by fellow performers.
The Final Chapter: Dignity, Choice, and Mutual Devotion
In their later years, as performances slowed and public appearances became rare, the twins dedicated themselves to the peaceful routines of everyday life near Munich. They stayed active, maintained their health as best they could, and continued their lifelong habit of doing everything together — cooking, traveling, reading, reminiscing, and visiting friends.
Their final decision was rooted in:
-
love for each other,
-
respect for autonomy,
-
and a desire to avoid prolonged suffering.
It was not an act of sadness, but an act of synchronized closure — a final dance, performed offstage, but just as elegant as the ones they performed under bright lights.

-
and the world was captivated by simplicity and elegance.
They will be remembered as artists who brought joy, as women who embodied grace, and as sisters whose bond remained unbroken from birth to their final breath.
