The book "Cheaper by the Dozen" was written by two of the twelve children of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, who were pioneers in the field of motion study and industrial efficiency in the early 1900s. The movies are based on the book, but very, very loosely, and the actual Gilbreth family had no twins or triplets and their names were totally different.
