Toddlers no more! Meet the twins who starred alongside Diane Keaton in Baby Boom... 27 years on
The twins who starred alongside Diane Keaton as the toddler in 1987's Baby Boom have resurfaced to reveal what their lives are like now.
These days, Kristina and Michelle Kennedy, who were just one-year-old when they were chosen to play Elizabeth in the comedy, are both teachers based in the Hamptons.
And while they may not have any memory of filming the movie, they revealed on the Today show that Diane Keaton certainly never forgets a face - or two.

All grown up: Kristina and Michelle Kennedy were just one when played Elizabeth, the toddler in 1987's Baby Boom. These days, they are both teachers in the Hamptons
Young stars: Despite the success of the film, the sisters weren't fully aware that they were in it until they were older
The girls said that when they were in college, they heard that their former co-star had a book signing nearby in Southampton, New York, so they went along for old times' sake.
'We had a picture of us with her, and we put it down in front of her to sign it,' recalled Michelle. 'And she goes, "You know, it's funny, we were just thinking about these girls the other day."'
Then it donned on her who they actually were. 'So then she looks to sign it, and she looks at us and she looks at the picture and she was like, "No!"' said Michelle.
'And we were just smiling, and she kind of put it together. And so when she realized she got up and gave us a big hug and it was exciting.'
Cool kids: 'It was more like our friends' parents kind of telling them, "Oh, you're going to the Baby Boom house," that kind of thing,' said Michelle (left)

Despite the success of the film, Kristina said that she and her sister weren't fully aware that they were in it until they were older.
'I think in elementary school, when our teachers kind of knew that we were in it and our friend, when we started to get a little bit older,' she said.
'Our friends' parents would tell them, "Oh, you're going to the Baby Boom house"'
'Yeah, it was more like their parents kind of telling them, "Oh, you're going to the Baby Boom house," that kind of thing,' Michelle piped in.
'So, you know, our friends never really saw the movie when we were in elementary school but usually the parents.'
The twins' own parents Diane and Jim also appeared on the show and gave their side of what it was like to have their daughters land the starring role.
Flashback: When the twins were in college, they went to a book signing by their former co-star Diane Keaton and brought a picture of themselves in the movie, hoping to jog her memory
Reunion: 'So the she looks at us and she looks at the picture and she was like, "No!"' said Michelle. 'And we were just smiling, and she kind of put it together. And [she] gave us a big hug'
Diane revealed that she and her husband brought the girls to the open audition after her sister heard about it on radio station Z100.
Thanks to the twins' playfulness, they were chosen for the role after being the very first ones to audition.
'There must have been 60 or 70 sets of twins and triplets, and there was a makeshift toy area where one of the casting agents was playing with Kristina,' recalled Jim.
'And the ball rolled right to the adjacent room where the producers and directors were. And sure enough, they said "Show them in!"'
