Twin Sisters, 69, Oldest Sex Workers - ABC News
Being old is not an advantage in the oldest profession. So it's no surprise that a filmmaker would spot a good story in 69-year-old twin sisters Louise and Martine Fokkens. Between them, they have more than 80 years' experience working as prostitutes in Amsterdam's infamous Red Light District.
"I can't tell you how many tricks we've had," says Louise. "Countless."
Louise retired two years ago, at age 67. With her arthritis, she says, "I couldn't get one leg over the other."
But Martine is still working the window, soliciting passing men, young and old, in her dominatrix outfit.
"She needs the money," says Louise. "You can't live off a state pension."
