Does anyone else remember the Barnstable Twins for the TV series Quark? During the eight episodes of their short-lived NBC television show, Quark, Patricia Barnstable and Priscilla “Cyb” Barnstable played the space crew’s navigator and pilot, both named Betty (known to fans as just the Betties).
Quark wasn’t the first time that the Barnstable twins had gained notoriety. Patricia had the honor of being crowned Miss Kentucky in 1971, and a year later, the two began their showbiz career in earnest by singing and dancing in Bob Hope’s last USO Christmas tour in Vietnam. After that, the twins appeared in a series of commercials for Doublemint gum. The two became so well known that they started appearing on the covers of a handful of national magazines.
