EDITORIAL
THE SLEUTHSAYER
A reader in Garden Grove, California writes, "I sincerely hope you will do
a photo spread on Tracy Griffith, Melanie's kid sister." Better yet, how
about a whole issue?
"Sisterhood is beautiful," proclaimed feminist Ti-GrAce Atkinson two
decades ago, and we're pleased to offer dual demonstration of that dynamic deblaration.
As intoxicating as our 30 pairs of siblings are, you might call it "60-proof
proof!"
When Vanessa and Lynn Redgrave {pp. 32-35} recently paired in a remake of What
Ever Happened to Baby Jane, Entertainment Weekly remarked: "The Redgraves,
acting together on television for the first time, certainly don't look much like
each other, but their expressions and gestures frequently mirror each other's;
their sisterhood really enhances their performances." Similarly, we think
the sibling ribaldly of our"Sisters under the Skin" enhances their dis-clothesures.
It's simply Two Much for Words...
Our kindred spirits are grouped in nine categories: sisters of relatively even
renown ("Separate But Equal"); those where the elder has the advantage
(Hard Acts to Follow"); pairs that have had a falling out {"Family Feud"};
bonded Britons ("Birds of a Feather"); fraternal French ("Bien
Soeurs"1; ebony progeny ("Soul Sisters"); identical matched sets
("Twin Peeks"); mourning glories ("Sis & Deceased"); and,
finally, sisters who've endured through quite a trial "Courting Trouble").
Nothing like this has ever been done before in publishing...which we think makes
this issue doubly delightful! It's like getting two for the press of one, presenting
both sides now and, therefore, better by half. After all, wouldn't it be silly
to have just one Tilly? What good's Melanie Griffith without a Trace? Doesn't
Daryl Hannah deserve an extra Page? Wouldn't you agree it's logical to have both
Spaaks and the equally potentTates? We know Natalie and Lana Wood....
"So you believe in the old double standard then, don't you?," Justine
Bateman asked her chauvinist brother Michael J. Fox in the aptly titled Family
Ties. 110, no," he corrected her, "I believe in the triple standard:
one for girls, one for boys, and one for sisters." Here's hoping we've set
the standard for years to come.
Are You Up for the Same Parts?
