Whatever Happened To The Doublemint Twins? The Sagal Sisters!

Whatever became of the Doublemint Twins, those smiling, identical faces that populated our television screens for years, peddling the simple pleasure of chewing gum? The Doublemint Twins, synonymous with a certain brand of wholesome Americana, vanished from the limelight, leaving many to wonder about the paths their lives took after the cameras stopped rolling.

For a significant period, the faces of Doublemint were those of Jean and Liz Sagal, twin sisters of the celebrated actress Katey Sagal. In the 1980s, these identical siblings graced our television screens, becoming instantly recognizable as the Doublemint Twins for Wrigley's iconic chewing gum commercials. Their youthful exuberance and matching smiles perfectly embodied the brand's image. However, their shared journey into the world of entertainment started before their foray into advertising. In 1982, Jean and Liz showcased their spirited personalities as cheerleaders in the film "Grease 2," marking an early step in their acting careers. Following their Doublemint fame, they starred in the television series "Double Trouble" from 1984 to 1985, further solidifying their presence in the entertainment industry as a dynamic duo. Despite their early success and the inherent appeal of twins in advertising, the phenomenon of "twin work" wasn't particularly widespread during the 1980s. Nevertheless, Wrigley recognized the unique charm and marketability that twins brought to their Doublemint gum campaigns, solidifying the brand's image with the concept of double the freshness and double the fun.
