They sent cold shivers down the spine of an audience of millions:
The Grady twins in Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 classic “The Shining”.
After their legendary appearance, the then 12-year-old twins Lisa and Louise Burns gave up their acting careers together.
Today the former child actors are professionally far removed from show business.
Louise now works as a microbiologist and Lisa works as a lawyer.
They have positive memories of the time on the set of “The Shining”:
“We saw people in creepy make-up, but it always felt like we were at an elaborate costume party (…) It just wasn’t that creepy.” – Lisa and Louise Burns vs. “people.com”
Only at comic fairs and on Twitter do the 51-year-olds bask in the fame of their cult roles.
Apparently one film is sometimes enough to keep film fans in the memory for decades.
