The sexy Latina twin stars from the Grindhouse movie Planet Terror are starting a production company with the film editor father they never knew growing up. The 18-year-old Avellan sisters, Electra and Elise, who play foul-mouthed babysitters in uncle Robert Rodriguez’s zombie film, are the daughters of revered Venezuelan filmmaker Joaquin Avellan. The sexy siblings had no idea who their father was until Elise was cast in a TV commercial he was involved with when she was a child. Electra recalls, “He asked the casting director, ‘Who’s that girl? She’s so cute,’ and he said, ‘Don’t you know, she’s your daughter, man.’ “Her name wasn’t Avellan back then, she had her mom’s last name. When he found that out, he freaked out. Mom didn’t want him to meet us because we were so young. “It was strange at first but now we’re great friends with our father and we’re going into business with him.”
