Rebecca Romijn Unveils New Milk Ad Featuring Twin Daughters
When Rebecca Romijn signed on to appear in an advertisement for Got Milk?, she did so with full knowledge that she would likely be upstaged. The model/actress’ 1-year-old twin daughters Charlie Tamara Tulip (l) and Dolly Rebecca Rose (r) were photographed alongside Mom, who says she couldn’t have been more wrong about how they would handle the shoot.
While Charlie is usually “the shy one” and Dolly is “the ham,” the girls experienced quite a role reversal once the cameras started rolling. “I thought that Dolly was going to be all over it,” Rebecca, 37, says. “I thought she was going to be loving it [but] Charlie was loving it — loving the lights, loving everyone standing around looking at her.”
Dolly, by contrast, was unimpressed — and more than willing to make her feelings known! “It was challenging,” Rebecca admits, recalling that the last Got Milk? ad she appeared in was shot in 1998 in Times Square during a tropical storm at rush hour. “I thought that was chaotic … Well, guess what? Shooting with 9-month-old twins when one of them is not havin’ it all day long [is worse].”
Pointing to the finished product, Rebecca adds,
“I think this is one of maybe three frames where Dolly wasn’t screaming her head off … I was like, ‘I’ll take [the 1998] madness over this madness.’ Jerry [O'Connell] was probably doing cartwheels behind the photographer trying to get them to calm down.”

The girls each favor one parent over the other. “Dolly looks exactly how I looked as a baby and Charlie looks exactly how Jerry looked as a baby,” Rebecca notes.
While Dolly’s demeanor also mirrors that of mom — “she’s the wild child … we have to keep our eye on her all the time. She’s constantly trying to find the highest thing to climb up on,” explains Rebecca — neither actor can lay claim to Charlie’s personality.
“She doesn’t take after anyone,” Rebecca says with a laugh.
“She’s really easy-going and always smiling, doesn’t cry very much … and I don’t think either of us are that easy-going. We’re fun but we’re not that easy-going.”
Charlie’s laid-back attitude extends to walking, which Rebecca predicts Dolly will master first. “She takes about five steps and then plunk!”
Charlie is showing signs of being an early talker, however. “She’s playing with it,” Rebecca says. “You can tell that she understands a lot more. She talks to herself in the back of the car — she’ll just go on for paragraphs by herself.”
From the sound of things, the differences between her daughters are always readily apparent. “[Charlie's] the talker and [Dolly's] the doer,” shares Rebecca.
