Doublemint Twins - Jayne and Joan were two identical twin spokes-models who appeared in a series of 12 Doublemint Chewing Gum commercials from 1959 through 1963 playing tennis, riding bicycles, and sliding on toboggans as they touted the company's jingle "Double your Pleasure, Double Your Fun With Doublemint Gum." They were 21 years old when they stared in the first commercial. When Joan became pregnant in 1963, the Boyd Twins were dropped from the W. M. Wrigley Jr. Company advertising campaign. In later years Joan worked as a receptionist in Chicago, while Jayne lived in Beverly Hills with her TV producer husband, Al Schwartz (writer for Green Acres and Petticoat Junction) who passed away in 1988. They have 3 children.
