I'm Marilyn of the Borden Twins and I was "Teensy" on the show. What a pleasure it was to work with Lucy. She was a consummate professional. This TV show was the highlight of our TV career. We loved working with Lucy and doing this episode.

R.I.P. Marilyn (1932-2009) & Roz (1932-2003) Borden; a/k/a "The Borden Twins"

And thanks to their talents and the talents of  Desi Arnaz and Desilu, who innovated the concept of preserving episodic TV on film, this performance will last as long as there remains people interested in the show & in good television comedy.

Some of this episode's best lines discussed or described Teensy and Weensy. Cousin Ernie says, "They are as close as two peas in a pod . . . well, two watermelons in a patch." At another point, Ernie relates what it was like asking Teensy to marry him, "So I took her aside and asked her to marry me. She said no. Turned out to be Weensy, and she can't stand the sight of me."

i don't want to sound disrespectful or anything but did anybody else think "porky pig" when they saw them? Especially with those black heels that made their feet look like black hooves? haha.

I love that @bordentwins came on here to comment just before she died. that's wild.

I love that Marilyn commented on this and told us which twin she played on the show. I also love this song, because I just always crack up at Teensy randomly clapping her hands during the chorus.

hi Marilyn, I loved this clip!!!! A part of me almost felt sorry for you girls that Ricky didn't take you with him to Hollywood. I'll bet it was great working with Lucille Ball!!!! Was it equally nice working with Desi, Vivian and William????

Everyone should come to Lucy's 100th birthday party in Jamestown, New York in August, 2011 !!

This is the best show that has ever graced American TV! It was funny, well-written, wholesome fun without all of the politically correct, "leftist" pedantic garbage that people like Norman Lear made popular back in the 70's.

And, yes, those girls are GREAT!!!
