Twin Sisters Tasha & Sidra Smith: Hollywood’s Perfect Pair

Having a brother or sister is special in itself, but when you have a twin, that just takes it to a whole new level. Twin sisters Tasha and Sidra Smith share that special bond.

Tasha is known for her sometimes loud, but always tell-it-like-it-is” attitude on movies like “Why Did I Get Married?” and “Couples Retreat”, plus TV shows like “For Better Or Worse.” Sidra is a movie producer and director in Hollywood.

Their mom was hooked on drugs while they were growing up but is now over 25 years clean! “We are not defined by our mistakes,” says Tasha. “We are defined by what we’re able to overcome.”

The Camden, New Jersey native Sidra is a former model and moved to Paris at 19 years old where she worked showrooms for a few months before eventually landing in Italy. It was there where she signed with an agency and worked for two years.
