The Story of Three Identical Strangers is Darker Than Meets the Eye

The Film Reunited a Set of Twins

Michele Mordkoff and Allison Kanter are twins that were separated by Louise Wise Services back when they were 5 months old – around the same time the triplet boys were adopted. After seeing the documentary ‘Three Identical Strangers,’ Michele decided to look into her biological history.

Fifty years after her separation from her sister, Michele discovered she had an “immediate family member” on the other side of the country. She contacted Allison, and three weeks later the sisters met for the first time. Both women agree that the revelation had a positive impact on their lives. And Allison told CNN: “I think that [Mordkoff and I are] at a point in our lives that it was the right time for us to be together. Twenty-five years ago would have been great, but I don’t know that I could’ve handled this at 18, 19 years old – when the boys [in Three Identical Strangers] met each other.
