Famous San Francisco twin Vivian Brown dies

1/13/2013

Vivian Brown, one of a pair of famously colorful San Francisco twins, passed away on Wednesday at age 85. Vivian and her twin sister, Maria Brown, were known for walking the streets of San Francisco decked out with matching outfits, hairdos and smiles. They've been greeting locals and welcoming visitors to the city by the Bay for the last 40 years, and have made appearances on commercials, talk shows and local events. Maria announced back in August that Vivian was suffering from Alzheimer's and had been in doctors' care since last July. RIP. [Source]
