Famous twin dies at 85

Many are now mourning the passing of one of the famous San Francisco twins, Vivian Brown. On Wednesday, Brown died peacefully in her sleep, according to the director of the assisted care facility where she lived. Brown's joyous personality and the fact that she and her twin were never out of unison made them local stars. The inseparable twins did everything together, even walking side-by-side at the same speed, says The San Francisco Chronicle.

For nearly 40 years, the famous Brown twins relentlessly walked the streets of San Francisco greeting everyone they encountered with a contagious smile. Their outgoing and bubbling personalities eventually led them to gain national publicity. Later they appeared in commercials and even had small roles in films.

Vivian Brown will be truly missed by the city of San Francisco and the nation as well. Mayor Ed Lee had this to say about her,

"She was a truly remarkable woman who represented the best of our city."
