Inky and Pinky are half – sisters born to the same Jewish entertainer father and two mothers, one African American and one white Irish immigrant. Growing up in the world of show business led them to become a Vaudeville sister act, but at a the world didn’t quite know what to do about their “multicultural diversity.” After years of obscurity, the entertainment world wants to acknowledge them for their pioneering work as artists.
