They rode up into Intruder In The Dust as the Gowrie Twins. As kids in Oxford, we watched the movie in school, and I smiled when the brothers stepped over the fence in rhythm. After the movie, they stepped into local lore with their given names, Ephraim and Edmund Lowe, “Eph and Ed.” When contacted by Hollywood about the pair possibly pursuing motion picture careers, Ed was said to have remarked, “Why would I want to leave this peaceful farm and go live out there in that rat race?”
“The movie was the only time I have ever seen the Lowe twins dressed differently.” — Mary Lou Bonds
