Lori and Reba Schappell, born September 18, 1961 in Reading, Pennsylvania, are American entertainers.

As conjoined twins, Lori and Reba have acted in an episode of Nip/Tuck, playing Rose and Raven Rosenburg. They have also appeared in a number of television documentaries about their lives and an episode of The Jerry Springer Show.

As a country singer, Reba Schappell has performed widely in the United States, and has also performed in Germany and Japan. In 1997, she won the L.A. Music Award for Best New Country Artist. She also sang Fear of Being Alone as the voice-over to the credits of a spoof on conjoined twins, Stuck on You.

Previously, Reba designed support equipment for people with physical handicaps, including her own specialized wheelchair, and a mobility aid for dogs. She is also a trophy-winning bowler.

Lori acts as Reba's facilitator. She works in a laundry, arranging her workload around Reba's singing commitments. Lori says that, as a fan of Reba's, she pays to attend her concerts, just like all the other fans, simply making herself quiet and "invisible" while her sister is on stage.

Lifestyle

Born as Lori and Dori Schappell, the sisters are craniopagus conjoined twins, joined at the head and sharing 30% of their brain matter, but having very different personalities and living, in so far as possible, individual lives. As a mark of individuality, and disliking the fact that their names rhymed, Dori changed her name to Reba.

While Lori is able-bodied, Reba has spina bifida which has caused growth retardation of her lower body and severe mobility impairment. The two women are therefore of very different heights. There was no wheel chair that suited Reba's unique condition, as to move around, she must be raised to her sister's height, to avoid undue strain upon Lori's neck and back. The only thing on wheels that was the right height was a bar stool. Using this as the foundation, Reba designed the wheelchair that she currently uses. One of the benefits of having a high wheel chair is that, unlike most people in conventional wheelchairs, the user is raised to about the height of a standing adult, which better facilitates normal communication.

Lori and Reba spent the first twenty-four years of their lives living in an institution in Reading in which the majority of inmates suffered severe intellectual disability. Although neither is intellectually disabled, Reba's condition required special care. A court decision was made that their parents would be unable to care for them properly and they were removed and institutionalised. In the 1960s there were few hospital institutions for those people who had special needs that were unusual. In order that they might be placed in the institution, they were diagnosed as suffering from intellectually disability. When they reached adulthood, Reba, with the help of Ginny Thornborough, wife of a former Governor of Pennsylvania, fought to have this diagnosis overturned and Lori and Reba were able to go to college.

They live in an apartment, each maintaining their own private space. Reba has several pets. They respect each others privacy in terms of work time, recreation and friendships.

In 2006, Reba was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in Reading, PA. Lori did not join the LDS Church, but has been supportive of her sister's decision. Reba has also once again renamed herself, as "George".
