Pauline Park will speak with noted journalist SI Rosenbaum about the life of trans conjoined twin George Schappell.  Reba was a name George used before transitioning. According to the NY Times, "George, as Reba, performed country music in the United States and abroad; won a Los Angeles Music Award for best new country artist in 1997; and sang “The Fear of Being Alone” over the closing credits of “Stuck on You” (2003), a comedy directed by Bobby and Peter Farrelly that starred Greg Kinnear and Matt Damon as conjoined twins."
