Isn't that the same person who was in the movie Freaks?


Most of the "freaks" shown in Todd Browing's classic were quite famous
in their day. Pinheads were generally featured with unique mathematical
skills, though most agree they were faked. The Snow sisters, the two
pinheads who appeared in Freaks were exhibited in Coney Island into the
1940's by their brother.

A 3rd Pinhead also appears in the cast shot and that's the Amazing
Johnny Eck at the door (Top). I've had a strange facination with
sideshow performers all my life. Many had lives as unique as their
appearance.
