As I promised I just read the autobiography of them and I must say I had a lot of fun with it !

Here are the cover-photos :



I think these things are worth mentioning :

- Their premiere-critique at the Lido (Paris) was phenomenal. One newspaper wrote : “Each Kessler-twin has enough musik in her legs and such a sexy glance in order to dump a hole eskimo-clan from the sled !”
- Tony Curtis and Burt Lancaster very often got the brush-off by the kessler-twins so they called them “Ice-creams” – in return the twins called them “Hot-dogs”
- The Burt Lancaster story (see above in our forum)
- In 1958 Alice fell in love with an italian guy (“Mister Capri”) and she got pregnant – she had an abbortion in order to go on with her work at the Lido. The intervention without any narcosis was very hard for her to stand it and she nearly died subsequently. She was rescued by another surgeon in a hospital.
- On 11th July in 1961 they had a 1 hour flight with a real jet-fighter (training-typ T-33) on the military air-field in Fürstenfeldbruck (Bavaria in Germany). Before they had to participate in a special preparation programm for this adventure. Afterwards they were appointed as “military honours pilots” of the staff and they were very proud of it
- Both twins once suffered from hepatitis because of the consumption of some seafood in Naples (Italy). They weren’t able to work for about 6 months altogether.
- They also described their shooting for the italian playboy and – this was a mistake in the book – actually it must have taken place in autumn 1974 (and not 1975) because they appeared in the january-edition of the playboy in 1975 (and not 1976) on the occasion of the “international year of women”. They really enjoyed the shooting by their friend Angelo Frontoni.

Ok, there are lots of photos (also some very personal ones) in it too but I think we do just have the most exiting or thrilling ones here on the forum - namely their appearance in the italian playboy (Edition Jan 1975) ...
