Life

The identical twin sisters were born around 1985 in the United States and their hometown is the small community of East Moriches in the US state of New York , which received worldwide attention, especially when Trans-World Airlines Flight 800 crashed in 1996. At the age of about 13 months, the two twin girls were brought into the main cast of the film Baby Boom , where they appeared in the role of Elizabeth Wiatt , the daughter of JC Wiatt (played by Diane Keaton ). Because they received significant attention from the two-time Golden Globe nominated film and the film generally received a lot of positive criticism and a passable box office result, the two girls were also brought into the TV series Baby Boom , which is based on the film, and the two girls again appeared in the role of little Elisabeth . The two were used in all 13 episodes of the short-lived series until 1989. For their role, the two Kennedys were nominated together for a Young Artist Award in the category "Best Young Actor / Actress - Under Five Years of Age" in 1989, but in the end could not compete against the somewhat younger twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen prevailed, who celebrated their first great success with the television series Full House .

After their baby boom , the two girls withdrew completely from the film and television business and continued their private lives in a middle-class family. The two of them came into contact with tennis for the first time as a child and developed into committed tennis players who often competed in doubles during their high school and subsequent school years . After attending Westhampton Beach High School in the small community of Westhampton Beach and being very successful in volleyball , they continued their careers at Salve Regina University in Newport in the smallest state in the USA, Rhode Island . Over time, the two became state champions in tennis in the US state of New York and celebrated other successes in volleyball, including a state championship. The two no longer want to find their way back into show business, but rather want to follow in their parents' footsteps. Her mother, Diane, is a high school math teacher, and her father, Jim, teaches English at high school and college levels.
