Jim Horne notes:

16-Across: The answer EMILIE refers to Emilie Dionne, one of the world-famous Dionne Quintuplets. On May 28, 1934, five identical sisters were born to Elzire and Oliva Dionne in Callander, Ontario. They were the first quintuplets known to have survived their infancy. The event became a global sensation, especially considering the quintuplets were born two months premature during the Great Depression.

The sisters were named Yvonne, Annette, Cécile, Emilie, and Marie.
