About The Brian Sisters
Naturally you all want to know more about the Brian Sisters as individuals, even though we nearly always see them as a trio (the exceptions were Little Miss Broadway and Love Affair).
Their sibling closeness is one reason why they were so good together as a trio, managing to sing even the most difficult songs in perfect harmony, each one 'just knowing' what notes the others would sing.
It was, however, common for their different looks to confuse people as to whether they really are sisters.
…Of course they are!
