Imagine, it’s 2005, and you’re at the taping of your favorite Disney Channel show. Suddenly, a producer spots you and your sister in the crowd, and before you know it, you’re being put through auditions to end up in a role on that very show! Sounds like a terrible self-insert Wattpad fanfiction from 2010, but for twin sisters Milly and Becky Rosso, this was, quite literally, what happened to them.
Camilla “Milly” and Rebecca “Becky” Rosso were born on July 6, 1994, coming from London, England. Originally just normal preteen girls, their lives would change after attending a taping of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Being noticed in the crowd by an executive producer, they were asked to audition, and soon enough, they both received the recurring role of Jessica and Janice Ellis, love interests for the titular Zack and Cody.
That wouldn’t be all, however, as in April 2009, the twins would then star in the leading roles for Legally Blondes, the rather…infamous sequel to 2001’s Legally Blonde, as Elle Woods’ British cousins. Also in the works was a Disney Channel pilot for a show that would have been titled “Suburban Legends”, which ultimately was not green lit.
Moving on from the acting world, Milly and Becky would start an all-girl singing group called “The Rosso Sisters”, along with their other 2 sisters, Georgina and Lola (Fun fact, Georgina would also have an appearance on Suite Life as Francesca Grubman in the season 2 episode “Health and Fitness”, y’know, the girl who gives London and Maddie eating disorders?). Being managed by Paul Kevin Jonas Sr. of all people, they were signed to Virgin Records and even toured with Demi Lovato! As of 2015, however, following the death of their mother due to pancreatic cancer, Milly and Becky seem to have stepped away from the entertainment industry for good. While a rather brief career in the grand scheme of things, these twins left quite the mark in the lives of 2000s kids everywhere. Especially me, who was obsessed with their Stardoll dress up game (R.I.P. Flash player).
